Minnesota Makers opened in 2015 as a way to showcase Minnesota artists. There was a sister store in Excelsior opened 4 years later. The stores feature over 150 Minnesota artists. It is owned by Christa Tess Kalk, and she has a small team of dedicated people working for her to provide the best customer service possible. They offer crafting classes primarily at their Robbinsdale store, but they are wiling to host them off-site as well. They have a diverse variety of items, including wood carvings, candles, prints, clothing, jewelry, and more. They also have information about the artists and are eager to share their knowledge.
