We acknowledge the term Maker can mean different things to different people depending on their background, industry, knowledge and personal experience. However, for the purposes of the findamaker directory we consider a Maker to be someone who makes and creates any one or number of the following:

• Any product by hand - this may include the making and creation of things such as clothing, beauty products, woodwork, toys, jewellery, candles, home decor, furniture
• Art - this may include a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, graffiti, print, photography
• Music - this may include those who write, perform and/or produce music
• Literature - this may include published authors and those who can produce a written product on request
• Culinary delights - this may include food artists, local catering services, the at home baker, the cake artist
• Garden related produce - this may include those who grow flowers, plants, succulents, herbs, fruit or vegetables for general household use

We are sure the above list will continue to grow however findamaker is not a directory for businesses that offer products that are manufactured and/or imported from abroad.

It is a directory for those everyday people who are at home in their community making and creating products that they love and care about.

If you have any questions around who we consider to be a Maker, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

At the moment we are taking pre-registrations from interested Makers prior to full website launch. If you would like to create a Maker Profile please complete the Pre-Registration form.

• Upload a Maker Profile Picture (jpg files preferred) - this may be your logo or another picture that best represents you and what you Make
• Upload up to three Featured Pictures (jpg files preferred) of your products/creations

*** We have tried to keep the choice of categories quite broad. Our aim is to simply direct potential buyers to your website, Facebook page etc where they can further explore what you have to offer. If you feel that there is not an appropriate category for what you Make, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

If you would like to make any changes to your Maker Profile please Contact Us directly. In the future you will be able to log in to your profile and make necessary changes.

Listing your business on findamaker is free.

We encourage that you include links in your Maker Profile to all your Maker sites.

This is okay but please make sure you include your current email address and contact phone number so that potential buyers can connect with you.
