Now Produced by Tiny Rhino Productions

The Indie Craft Spring Experience returns May 2-3, 2026 with an exciting new location at Goat Farm, ushering in a new era for Atlanta’s longest-running handmade market. Now produced by Tiny Rhino Productions, the beloved event expands its vision – intentionally bridging the space between indie makers and contemporary craft while preserving the bold, funky energy that has defined the markets since 2005.

This spring, artists from seven states across the Southeast will gather in Atlanta, showcasing a dynamic cross-section of regional talent. The event continues to serve as a trusted destination for discovering Southern independent makers, while elevating its curatorial lens to spotlight work that merges DIY ethos with refined craftsmanship and modern design.

Set within the industrial, art-forward environment of Goat Farm, the Spring Experience will feature a thoughtfully curated lineup of artists and designers showcasing concept-driven handmade work, elevated material exploration, collectible small-batch design, and personality-rich brands that sit comfortably alongside refined minimal aesthetics.

“For the last 20 years, Indie Craft Experience has celebrated accessible, handmade culture,” says Katrine Trantham, owner of Tiny Rhino Productions. “This spring, we’re leaning into the exciting middle ground – where independent makers are pushing into contemporary craft conversations. And just as importantly, we’re still embracing the playful energy and quirkiness that people know and love us for. Shoppers can expect to find many of their longtime local favorites while also discovering an exciting wave of new talent from across the Southeast.”

The result is a market experience that will resonate with longtime Indie Craft Experience supporters, as well as serious collectors, design enthusiasts, and shoppers seeking both statement pieces and timeless staples.

Strengthening Atlanta’s Handmade Ecosystem

Beyond the market weekend, organizers are reinforcing their commitment to Atlanta’s year-round creative economy. In conjunction with the Spring Experience, Tiny Rhino is sharing a newly compiled guide to Handmade in Atlanta — spotlighting independent retailers and creative spaces that champion local artists and small-batch design.

This initiative reflects Tiny Rhino Productions’ broader mission: not only producing thoughtfully curated events, but cultivating a sustainable infrastructure for independent craft throughout the Southeast.
