The Memphis Maker

I'll be in Shelby Forrest tomorrow for the Shelby Forest Spring Fest. The split-theme for this year's event is Jimmy Buffett meets Mardi Gras. Here are a couple of items I did for the Buffett side of things. Event is at 910 Riddick Rd. and runs from 10am-5pm. Food, live music and vendors!

A new "regular" at my market booth - houseplant houses. I have various designs in multiple sizes. These are laser cut and etched and assembled. The houses are various types of wood and the bases are acrylic.

Market season is here! I'm starting it off at Lightfoot Farm Market this Saturday. Market runs from 9am - 2pm. If you've never been to this market, it's HUGE! A wide variety of vendors and food trucks. Come out and enjoy the great weather we're having Saturday.

Headed to Nashville this Saturday for a small business Saturday market. Leaving my Memphis stuff at home, but had to make at least one fun Nashville item. I'll post a few more items and info on where I'll be later.

First time market for me. If you need Christmas items - I got 'em! Also have my Memphis and nerd stuff with me. I'll be set up in the hallway between the cafeteria and the auditorium. This one has a wide variety of vendors. Come out and support the Center and local businesses.

New stuff! Laser etched tumblers with some added patriotic bling on the lid. These will be with me this Saturday at a market I'm attending. I'll have a co-maker sharing a booth with me - Dana Shoops!

Hey look! I've got a new market and a partner in art that will be joining me - Artwork by Dana Shoops.

Let's welcome The Memphis Maker to the August Lightfoot Farm Market!

“I make things with a slightly different set of tools - 3d printing, laser engraving, cut vinyl and various other media. The items I create have themes about Memphis, nerd culture and scripture. Signs, keychains, charcuterie boards, drink ware and accessories and stickers are just a few of the items I make. I also work with a local watercolor painter to create items."

Please give a warm welcome to our new folks and show them just how amazing Lightfoot Farm Market is!

📌: Lightfoot Farm Market 7422 Ward Rd Millington, TN 38053
📆: Saturday, August 3rd

Coming to "Ye Corner of Nerdiness" at my Painted Tree booth. Look for the dragon tavern sign when you get to booth C5. More to come...

I've added a couple of new sections to my Painted Tree booth - Ye Corner of Nerdiness and an Inspiration Station. Here are a couple of items for the nerds out there and a new Memphis item for all the Memphians out there. Come check out my booth - C5. Also check out my site for updates on upcoming markets.

New stuff!! I've got a number of new glass/coaster combos. I've also got a couple of new laser engraved boards. This one is from a sticker I designed for the MIM Barbecue Contest.

07/22/2023

And yes, as promised, there is more new stuff! Laser etched jars for all your sweets and treats. Car paraphernalia for the nerds and the brutally honest Memphians. I hope to see you tomorrow at the Wiseacre on Broad.

I got more new stuff! Not having a market last weekend gave me time to get ready for markets the next two weekends. The laser has been getting a good workout. Glass, river rock, slate, wood - you name it, I'm trying to burn it. This is just a few of the new items.

04/07/2023

I've got a couple of items that I've added for tomorrow's market at Belltower Coffee at 525 South Highland. I'll be there from 10-3. Plenty of other makers to check out as well. Hope to see you!

Something old, something new, nothing borrowed and something blue (and gray and white). A preview of a few things I'll have at my booth this Saturday. Wiseacre on Broad from 1-5pm. I'll also have free stickers and a dragon give-away. #901

The printers are movin' and groovin' for my first market this year! I'll be at https://www.facebook.com/WiseacreBrewingCompany OG on Broad Saturday, April 1 (no joke) from 1-5pm for a maker market. I've got lots of new stuff I haven't added to the online store yet - like dragon eggs (perfect Easter present for the Targaryen in your life).
