⚠️ IMPORTANT: Vendor Application Scam Alert ⚠️

It has come to our attention that someone is sharing our Merry Misfits Makers Market poster by email and falsely claiming to be the event organizer.

Please only apply using the official application link shared by us.

For the safety of all applicants, the only people who will ever contact vendors about this market are:

🩷 Emily from Soulful Spoon
📧 [email protected]

💙 HollyJo from The Kiln Room Pottery
📧 [email protected]

If you receive emails from anyone else claiming to organize this market, please do not reply, do not send payment, and do not provide any personal information.

If you’re ever unsure, send us a message through our official social media pages or email us directly to verify.

We will never ask you to send payment until you’ve been officially accepted as a vendor.

It honestly sucks that this is happening to two small business owners putting together an artist-run market for our community. 💔 We just want to create a fun, welcoming event that celebrates independent makers, and it’s disappointing that someone is trying to take advantage of that.

We’d really appreciate it if you could share this information with anyone you know who is thinking about applying.

Stay safe, and we can’t wait to see all your amazing applications through the official link! 🩷💙

Warmly,

HollyJo & Emily

We may have acquired a new-to-us baby kiln! 🤗✨

A big thank you to Karen for trusting us with her, and welcome to Woodstock! 💖

And another big thank you to Jacob and Fraya for helping us get her safely to the studio before the storm rolled in. 🌩️⛈️🌀Did y’all see that yesterday?!

Gosh, it feels so good to finally have the space and the support to keep growing and evolving. 🥹💖

Next step is getting the proper outlet installed and doing some test firings! She’s smaller than our current kiln, but we’re really excited to see how she runs. Sometimes having a smaller kiln is exactly what you need for experimenting, short deadlines and a little more flexibility.

Here’s to growth, room to dream, and all the exciting things still to come. 🤗✨🔥
