For the past 7 shows — with one exception — I’ve shared one or more posts about my BWIPS experience. This year, I decided to do something different. On Sunday, when the show was quiet, I talked to every small, independent pen maker I could, and followed up with the rest via Instagram.
I asked each maker, “Would you mind sharing how you got into pen making?” The stories I was told were, of course, as unique as the makers themselves. And so, I present to you Indie Maker Origin Stories.
To the wonderful makers: if I missed or messed up part of your story, I’m sorry. Drop a comment below or send me a message on Instagram and I’ll fix it ASAP.
