How we got started:
I have a close circle of friends and family that are very crafty. When the economy wobbled and the job market softened, I started thinking of ways I could help those closest to me. The idea fairy came to me in the shower one day with an idea: They needed an art dealer but for their crafts.
And I knew I could be their craft dealer.
While building this business I felt the gap between lifelong crafters and beginners like me. I also saw the generosity of crafters and a community that different guilds were slowly building. I saw another avenue where I felt compelled to explore. I created My Craft Workshops to encourage community through exploring crafts together.
I also set a new goal for a physical location in an area locally where crafters do not have many choices to find the special link that the craft community provides.

Let me introduce myself.
I am Emilie Becker. I live in Utah. I am not a crafter. I am not an artist. I am a mother of three wonderful sons. I have a long professional history in the insurance industry. I value honesty, transparency and compassion.
I am a huge fan of the Utah Warriors (professional rugby) and West Ham United (premier league European soccer).
I have a passion for helping people. I created this business to become a trusted marketplace for high-quality, unique artisan goods while supporting the passion of home crafters.
Let us be YOUR Craft Dealer.
