Why?

We have workshops, studios and little showrooms, web sites and storefronts and blogs. We all make stuff, and are always looking for a place to show it, to share it, and get wider exposure and some feedback. A lot of us know each other, but most everyone works on their stuff in relative isolation. A little while ago, we started having informal conversations about what we do and why, and that's led to our desire to do more and get things out in the open. We're not exclusive and hope to add a lot of ShoeStringers to the collective over time.

Want to get involved? Send us an email with your name and a link to your stuff. Let us know if you want to be a poster to the blog and we'll set that up too.

Now, quit sitting around reading the internets and get back to making your stuff!
