Here at Benzie Design, we are fortunate to be surrounded by a strong community of makers and creatives who inspire us every day. That’s why this year, we decided to create a program for Benzie to collaborate directly with our community! When we first put out a call for makers, we didn’t know how many applicants to expect. We were blown away when we received over 150 applications for our inaugural Benzie Design Maker Team!
Today we are excited to introduce you to the 12 crafters who make up the Benzie Design Maker Team! Over the next year, we will be working together with each of these creatives to bring you exciting new tutorials, blog posts, videos, and social media content. Stay tuned - we already have some fun projects in the works! Keep reading below to meet our talented Maker Team and learn about why they’re excited to be collaborating with Benzie!

I enjoy taking on new challenges, so being part of the Benzie Maker Team provides me with the chance to try new things in the creative world of felt. I hope that sharing ideas, techniques, and designs with the Benzie community makes me grow as an artist, and I'm sure we can learn from each other!"

"Crafting and design has always been a part of my life. I remember the excitement from buying my first felt swatch book – seeing those vivid colors I was overwhelmed with ideas about what to make. That's why I'm excited to be a part of Benzie Design's Maker Team, not only do I get to be a teammate with incredible makers but I get to further explore those ideas, test out new projects, and put more positivity out into the world."

"I am a crafter that loves to try lots of different things, rather than sticking with only one craft. The best thing about felt is that you can use it in so many different ways, for so many different crafts! So working with Benzie, the world’s best felt supplier, is a perfect match for my style!"
