Maker Series: Liza Rifkin of Liza Michelle Jewelry

Liza Rifkin runs Liza Michelle Jewelry, a local-to-Cleveland handmade business that creates thoughtfully crafted, future heirlooms for you and your home. Using recycled materials, ethically sourced gem stones and green studio practices, every piece is handcrafted with care and attention. We've been lucky enough to watch Liza's business grow over the course of its life, and we are consistently impressed with how conscientious and driven she has become as both an artist and business person.

The Maker Series: John and Adam of Starglyphs / Bus Boutique

The Bus Boutique is a mobile vintage shop in an old converted school bus. Each event is uniquely curated with selectively sourced goods ranging from primitive to modern. The inventory is eclectic and typically artisan crafted or designed. The interior of the bus has been refinished with primarily all found and salvaged woods and materials. The fun part is that it also doubles as a camper for when they're on the road. The Bus Boutique is owned and run by John Owens & Adam Zagger (Adam's Dad Glenn is also a big asset and gets honorable mention).
