\u201cThis is a dream come true to land in the heart of the Funk Zone with this extremely talented group of makers and artists,\u201d explains Jules Kramer, who will be managing the Santa Barbara store. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe collective will highlight and celebrate the amazing artisans in our community by offering much more than a great place to shop\u2026 we will tell the stories behind the makers, and also look forward to hosting Scent Bar parties, pop-ups, live-painting and workshops in our event room space and parking lot,\u201d says Kristin Fraser. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fraser opened Seaside Makers flagship store in Carpinteria (961 Linden Ave.) in September 2018. Response from the community was so positive that she partnered with Kramer to open a second location in Santa Barbara. <\/span><\/p>\n

The shop will host a Grand Opening Celebration on Nov. 29 from 4-8 p.m. to give the community a chance to \u201cmeet the makers\u201d in person. Seaside Makers Collective is located at 209 Anacapa St. in the Funk Zone, with parking available in its own lot. <\/span><\/p>\n
