Together, we uplift each other, share our stories, conquer challenges and collectively contribute to creating a world where making is not only revered as a career choice but embraced by the masses.

Produced by partners Kate and Jack who are owners of ‘Ardent Leather’ they know first hand the struggles of being a small craft business. ‘We hope ‘We Are Makers’ bridges the gap between maker and customer locally and internationally’.
This really is a beautifully produced magazine which once you start you won’t want to put down. With an incredible array of makers and craft I have so enjoyed finding new makers, businesses and learning about incredible skills.
This is a magazine you will keep forever, lend or make a fantastic gift to a fellow maker or handmade enthusiast.
