Amira Fahmy, baked AF (Food) Online | Facebook | Instagram
“My name is Amira Fahmy (hence AF) and I'm the baker behind the throwback snacks. I'm a brown girl who was raised by a single dad in the 90s, and I grew up with an endless love for all things Little Debbie, Hostess, and Nabisco. A few years ago I set out to build a business around making baked goods that would bring people joy. I bounced around with a few different ideas, but once I made my first batch of oatmeal cream pies (aka OCPs), it instantly became clear that throwback snacks are just kind of my jam. Since then, we've expanded our lineup from OCPs to other throwback classics, all scratch-made from quality ingredients plus a little bit of science and a lot of whimsy at our bakery in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. While I'm not a vegan bakery, the majority of my baked goods do happen to be 100% plant based.”

Caylie Mindling, Cayligraphy (Cards + Paper) Online | Facebook | Instagram
“Cayligraphy is a pun-tastic name I grew into when I combined my given name and my chosen field. It's always evolving as I do and it's rarely serious, usually silly, and amiably simple. Each Cayligraphy piece begins as an inky hand-lettered or drawn illustration that is deeply inspired by Mother Nature, sending goodness, and laughing your pants off with your friends at 2am. Fueled by my staunch appreciation of and dedication to art being fused into our lives, those pieces will become prints, stickers, cards, notebooks, and reusable bags. I revel in branching out into delightful new mediums and have been known to put a Cayligraphy spin on pyrography, glass painting, leatherwork, screen printed goodies, and more. I believe that what we make matters, and how we make matters just as much, so I plant a tree for every two stickers sold via my Love Your Mother program, print with wind power on recycled paper, produce my reusable bags in small batches with a factory in Mexico that treats their workers with respect and pays them well, and am working toward becoming completely plastic neutral."

“Hope Hickman is a sculptor, ceramic jeweler and painter. After dropping out of graduate school, studying mathematics, in Clemson, S.C., she found her way up to the Blue Ridge Mountains, where she began her career/education in fine craft and art. After a few years just outside of Asheville, Hope began reintegrating with her hometown of Akron. She currently works primarily out of her studio on the Portage Lakes, taking small work-trips throughout the summer to her mentor's pottery in N.C.. Hope hosts, curates and runs the community show for local artists, The Groundhog Show and this October (2022) she will be opening a storefront for ceramicists Grant Ederer, Mary Clark, Vee Morman and herself. She is a currently a member of the Artist Resource Committee at the Summit Artspace and long-term, she has hopes to help expand the opportunities of fine crafters and artists in the Akron area. With regards to her art, in general, the themes that Hope plays with live at the intersection of philosophy, math and personal experience. She regularly ties her ideas back to algebra and the famous logician Kurt Gödel. Lately she has been interested in meta-irony, radicalization in gen-Z culture, and how we construct ideology/ value systems. These elements are most evident in her more recent paintings and less evident in her current sculptural endeavors where she has been working on engineering the ceramic fabric which she plans to bring to the Cleveland Bazaar art markets alongside her ceramic wearables and goods."

In my designs, I try to abandon convention and embrace creativity, challenging myself to use materials in new ways.

I love to combine vintage materials with modern elements, which makes each of my pieces one-of-a-kind."

“The Extravaganza of Strange is a celebration of all things weird and whimsical. I create completely original paintings, digital prints, and miniature resin sculptures of the characters in my head. My style is surreal, immersive, colorful, over-the-top, with a balance of both horror and whimsy. I’m often asked “what were you on when you painted this?" - both a compliment, and a depressing commentary on the assumption that creativity has to be fueled by chemicals. My inspiration comes from my background in animation, as well as toys, puppets, video games, comic books, and cos-play. I’m inspired by past creatives like Jim Henson, H.P. Lovecraft, and Dr. Seuss, as well as modern creatives like Tim Burton, Wayne White, Craola, Dulk, and Alex Pardee. I love reimagining ideas into something cooler and stranger, merging nostalgia with whimsy, and most of all, exploring new techniques and crazy ideas."

I love looking for albums to add to my inventory of over 400 and growing! My construction method is as follows: Re-purposed record album covers are cut apart and lined with specialty/scrapbook paper on the blank side. I make the bottom and sides from chipboard which are also covered in specialty paper. The pieces are laminated in my studio and then hole punched and grommeted by hand. Nylon webbing or guitar straps are added for the shoulder straps and the tote bag sections are laced together using cotton cord. The finished product typically measures 12" x 12" x 4". The totes are very sturdy, and will last for many years! I love working with fellow music lovers on creating a custom tote just for them with their favorite artist or band. The tote bags are made with much love and respect for the musicians that recorded these albums, and no two bags are alike!"

But at some point, about 5 years ago I started knitting hats and I just can't seem to stop. I fell in love with bold colors, high quality fiber, and satisfied customers."

“FLF offers a variety of plant-themed decor and accessories, with hyper-realistic miniature leaf earrings being the main feature! So realistic that people ask all the time if they are made of actual plants (don't worry, they're not!) Other products include drinkware, koozies, coasters, bags and apparel (coming soon) that feature a mixture of original designs and plant puns. The whole idea is to celebrate all sorts of plants rather than the popular mainstream few. As a plant lover, I grew tired of only seeing monsteras everywhere when there are so many other plants out there to love! I pride myself on offering only handmade items, made locally by me right in downtown Cleveland. Being a one-woman show means everything is made with lots of care, and everything is completely customizable. Have a favorite plant at home? Send a pic and you'll have your very own one-of-a-kind earrings in a matter of days!"

“We make 100% beeswax candles in various shapes. Beeswax candles are a cleaner, brighter, and much longer burn than petroleum based candles. There is also little to no dripping which makes them extremely versatile. We do not scent our candles so all you are getting is the faint smell of beeswax when burning it, making it a great dinner centerpiece. As opposed to soy candles, our beeswax candles do not rely on mono-agriculture and that is better for the environment."

Marcus Schafer, SWORKS (Home Decor) Online | Facebook | Instagram
“I enjoy breaking an idea down to its simplest parts, then designing a unique or unorthodox way to make it anew. My work is 3D, but I sketch, draw, and design in 2D. Each piece is laser-cut flat, and I determine which axis that piece will land on. Using a laser cutter, as well as utilizing a monochromatic color scheme, gives each piece a solid industrial design aesthetic that pairs with my patterns and designs. Inspiration comes from everywhere, and my work continues to evolve as the design and construction methods adapt to what each piece requires. I design and construct boxes, bowls, puzzles, lamps, and wall art, among commissioned pieces and gallery entries. Some items are functional, others make a statement. But they're all SWORKS."
