We’d love for you to be part of our creative community! Handmade DFW is opening applications for new team members soon.
Handmade DFW is a cooperative, all-volunteer group of makers, artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs living and working throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area. We are a nonprofit trade association founded in 2007 with a shared belief in the value of handmade work, creative entrepreneurship, and community connection.

Free training sessions and workshops - Topics range from hands-on crafting classes to business, marketing, and entrepreneurship seminars.
Member meetups and networking events - Connect with like-minded makers, share ideas, learn from each other, and talk honestly about the challenges of running a handmade business.
Mentorship and peer support - Learn from experienced makers and contribute your own skills to the community.

A Cooperative Community
Handmade DFW is powered entirely by volunteers. Our members don’t just join—they participate, contribute, and help guide the organization forward. Whether you’re an emerging maker or a seasoned creative entrepreneur, your experience and voice matter here.
