The Handmaidens are a collective of seven North
Carolina artists, designers and crafters who create handcrafted
adornments for body and home. Formed in 2004, the collective
works together to participate in local and regional shopping
events and trunk shows.
In May 2006, The Handmaidens produced their first
sponsored shopping event, The
Handmade Market. Featuring 40 independent designers from
North Carolina and beyond, The Handmade Market provided the
Triangle community with an unique opportunity to support and
discover the flourishing local and regional independent art,
craft, and design scene.
