Supporting scratchmade ingenuity.

Welcome to the Handcrafted Gift Guide! Who are we? I saw a need for affordable, high-visibility sales outlets for small batch crafters and makers – and created a platform to celebrate and enable small businesses locally in Durham, NC - the Handcrafted DURM market series. We are proud of our progress through our first year of hosting events. We collaborated with a great local brewery that shared our values (Durty Bull Brewery in downtown Durham), and featured vendors from North Carolina. Handcrafted DURM even drew folks from across state lines. We focused especially on small businesses, family craft enterprises and minority-owned endeavors (including women of all backgrounds). Why? As my folks used to say, “because doing it this way takes some elbow-grease”. Coming along with parents who were tradespersons and being one myself, I know firsthand that there are inherent challenges to starting small and needing to support oneself. They did all kinds of work to make ends meet. Not everyone has the luxury of a cushy nest egg to dive into the work that really drives one’s creative passions. But self-employment is often both satisfying as well as economically rewarding. Right now, people are pivoting left and right, still taking hits and somehow managing to make it through. In light of this climate and the risks involved with in-person events as weather cools, we wanted to create a different kind of gathering: • • • •
One that celebrates all we have to offer – ingenuity, creativity and resourcefulness. One that unites us around common ideals of prosperity for all types of people. One bringing us together to support the business spirit which matters most, community. And most importantly, offering small and emerging businesses an opportunity to work while keeping them and our communities safe from harm.
When you buy from one of these vendors, or share the business stories in this guide, you are contributing to a holistic offering of peace and goodwill. Thank you for flipping through and supporting our neighbors. Peace and Gravy,
Chef Hadassah Patterson Founder, Handcrafted DURM & The Handcrafted Gift Guide
