makers|23 reported by SARAH CARPENTER ISABEL HOCHMAN ISA BELLA JOSLIN SEAN McALINDIN MITCH RUSTAD
o, when I first moved to this corner of the planet, I kept hearing cool, creative people being referred to as “makers.” Makers? Really? Aren’t they simply artists and designers and chefs and photographers and musicians and so on? Yes, but collectively, in this region, they’re proudly stamped with the “makers” moniker. When in Rome… To inaugurate the now annual roster of celebrated makers in The Mountains— we’re calling it makers|23—we’ve assembled an impressive list of our most talented neighbors. To be clear, we’re not inferring that these particular people are the best or even among the best makers in our area, we’re just saying these 23 individuals are impossibly interesting and gifted and should be on the guest list for your next cocktail party. We live in a ridiculously makers-rich environment. In fact, you can’t throw a rock 50 feet without hitting a legit world-class maker in these parts. These 23 folks are just the ones we chose to throw our rocks at this time around. Have a look. Doesn’t your guest list need a boost? Our makers|23 honorees can help. ☞ – R I CH ARD PÉ REZ-F E RIA
