Become a founding maker
We’re building a home for America’s independent Western makers: bootmakers, silversmiths, saddlemakers, spur makers, hatters and leatherworkers. Buyers will see your work, your prices and your wait time, and contact you directly.
What founding makers get
- Free for your first 3 months. No card needed to apply.
- Your founding price, kept for life. After the free months, you pay the discounted founding rate for as long as you stay listed.
- No commission, ever. Buyers pay you, not us.
- A Founding Maker badge on your listings.
Who it’s for
- You make the work yourself, or in a small workshop.
- You’re based in the United States and can sell to buyers here.
- You can describe your work honestly. If you use terms like “Native American made”, they must be true under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.
