Maker’s Market, an event for Hillsdale College artisans to sell their handmade goods, will be this Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the chapel on the quad.
Around 25 students, faculty, and staff members will be running booths selling a wide range of items like jewelry, food, hand-painted cards and more.
Maddie Clark, director of student activities, said the market is a great way for the Hillsdale community to support its peers.
“The student vendors are selling a wide range of handmade goods,” Clark said, “so head on over this Saturday!”
This year is the fourth time SAB will host the Maker’s Market.
Junior Kiri Forrester will be selling homemade goods crafted by her and her roommate at the market this weekend.
“My roommate Jenny and I are going to have a table together,” Forrester said. “She is selling some of her embroidery and sachets, and I am selling homemade lip balm, sugar scrub, and a few crochet creations.”
Forrester said the market is a nice way to share her goods with the community and see what others are selling.
“I really enjoy crafty projects, but I never know what to do with all the things I make afterward,” Forrester said. “I’m really excited for the opportunity to share some of my little projects with others. A lot of people here have hidden talents that we would never know about without an opportunity to share them like this.”
