This week’s Cleveland Handmade featured artist is Chris Zielski of Copper Leaf Studios. Chris was one of the first Etsy team members I met in person, and she makes lovely etched copper pieces, but on a much larger scale than I do. Her photos are lovely, but her art is even more spectacular in person.

Cleveland Handmade’s first featured artist is Sara Kate, who lives in Solon, Ohio. It is fitting that she is our first featured artist, because she kick-started this whole thing with one simple question in the Etsy forums: “Anyone in the Cleveland area?” Sara Kate makes awesome bags and envelope wallets; I myself am a proud owner of one of her Glam Squad bags.
