- Details: Images shown are just examples of what you might receive subject to availability. Please note these starter kits are made with second-hand materials and materials may vary.
- About the Product: Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you’re just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive.
- About the Maker: Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!
