What is Hoag Road Maker Co? What does Co stand for? Good questions Kierra! Oh wait I am Kierra...well anyways... I'm going use this Journal entry to clarify a few things so you may see what we are all about here.
What does "Co." stand for?
Well it stands for many things actually! Company: we are indeed a company so that's accurate. Community: Hoag Road is about supporting a community and sharing beautiful things at affordable prices so we can create a community of people (wherever they live) who appreciate beautiful handcrafted goods as well as people who make beautiful handcrafted goods. Collaborative: Hoag Road is about me, Kierra, inviting in others to create goods that mesh with HRMC's asthetic but shows off each makers unique talents. Connection: We aim to bring together local makers who may not have the time or desire to build there own store or create on a scale to sell at markets but they create things that should be shared and connect them with a marketplace that does the work for them. This gives them more time to do what they love so our community may enjoy more of it!
How do you find Makers?
I start with the people I know. As the head of this collection of makers (yes! Another Co!) I start with those around me. Most people are attracted to people with similar goals and I happen to have many friends who's goals are to create beautiful things! I didn't have to reach far to find the first people I want to include in the HRMC family. If you or someone you know creates things that you believe would fit with the vibe here at HRMC email Kierra at kierra.l.burton@gmail.com for an application.
What are the goals of Hoag Road Maker Co?
To create a place where people can share their talent with a community who will appreciate them.
To have beautiful goods at affordable prices that are still fair to the artists who create them.
To bring beauty to the homes and wardrobes of people all over the country.
