Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as finding unique, one-of-a-kind art pieces that speak to your soul. And what’s even better than supporting local artists? Having access to their artwork through online craft stores! With that in mind, I’ve rounded up the top online craft stores based in our community, so you can easily find and purchase beautiful, handmade pieces without even leaving your house. 😍

1. Etsy

Let’s start with a classic - Etsy. This global marketplace has become a household name for handmade and vintage goods, but did you know that it’s also an incredible resource for locally made art? With endless options, you can find everything from hand-painted pottery to custom portraits. Plus, most sellers are happy to personalize or customize their pieces just for you! 🤗

2. Society6

If you’re looking for unique wall art, textiles, or even furniture, Society6 is the place to go. This platform allows independent artists to sell their designs on a variety of products, making it easy for buyers to find exactly what they’re looking for. With a focus on contemporary, modern designs, Society6 offers everything from abstract paintings to geometric throw pillows. 😎

3. Artfinder

For those looking for higher-end art pieces that are still locally made, Artfinder is the way to go. Specializing in original paintings, sculptures, and limited edition prints, this site offers a curated selection of artwork from artists all over the world, including our own community. With features like the “Artfinder Match” tool, which suggests art pieces based on your interests and style, finding the perfect piece has never been easier. 🎨

4. Redbubble

Similar to Society6, Redbubble is another platform for independent artists to sell their designs on a variety of products, from phone cases to clothing to home decor. However, Redbubble offers an even wider range of designs, including fan art and niche topics like cryptids (those mythical creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster). With a focus on quality and unique designs, Redbubble has become a popular choice for finding one-of-a-kind home goods and accessories. 🦄

5. Handmade at Amazon

Last but not least, we have Handmade at Amazon. Similar to Etsy, this platform allows independent artists to sell their handmade creations online, which includes everything from jewelry to home decor. However, what sets Handmade at Amazon apart is their focus on showcasing the artisans behind each piece, with detailed artist profiles and studio photos. With a commitment to quality and handmade craftsmanship, shopping on Handmade at Amazon is a truly unique experience. 🙌
