What is Handmade Artists?
Handmade Artists is a community where likeminded artisans can give advice, honest feedback, support, share their creations, and promote their items to a wider online audience. This wonderful group of artisans has come together as a community to share how to avoid pitfalls, and the joy of selling their handmade and creative process.

Andrew and Kimberly Kitchen are the back bone and owners of Handmade Artists. Not only do they manage and take care of their members by promoting constantly, quick at responding to questions, but they both work full time and are artists themselves. They are very receptive to feedback, in fact they even ask for feedback whenever they want to try something different to help the handmade movement even more.

Andrew and Kimberly have two shops “Chainmaille by MBOI” and “Makein’ the Best of it”, in addition to owning and managing Handmade Artist Forum, Shop, and Blog. They also own and manage the site’s “It’s Better Handmade” and “Promote Handmade”. As you can see they do everything that they can to help and support the Handmade Community.

Handmade Artists Shop
This is the place to set up shop, to sell your handmade. Very low start up at only $5 a month or $50 a year, no commissions or listing fees. Although Handmade Artist (HA) is smaller than other sites like Etsy and Artfire, it is growing daily. You will not find mass produced goods sold as handmade. So if you are looking to buy handmade that’s exactly what you will find, and if you’re looking to sell you won’t be competing with mass produced items that can be sold at really low prices.

The Handmade Artists Blog is where you will not only find the highlights that are put together by other creative members, but you will find post written by Kimberly featuring other talented artists, helpful and inspiring post written by other creative members.

Handmade Forum
