Our Artists & Makers
Bay Area local artists featured in the Bay-Made Gift Shop. Not taking new submissions—we are a tiny store and became completely overwhelmed by the now thousands of submissions we have received, and we don’t have the energy to respond to every submission. As it is, our store is packed!
Bay-Made Local Artists & Makers
Below are a few of the artists and makers that you can expect to find at Bay-Made. We have over 120 local artists and makers from all over the bay area represented in our store.
We are asked frequently if we work with artists of color in our store, LGBTQ makers, or if we actually carry work from Bay Area natives. The answer is a resounding yes! While we don’t believe in tokenism, we opt instead to find the best work out there, and because of this, our makers are exceptionally diverse and are reflective of our community. Truth be told, most of our makers are women or women-owned businesses, and we are so proud to share their work with you. Due to our understanding of our own white privilege as owners of this shop, as well as knowledge of the disparity of socio-economic situations in the Bay, we do our best to work with underrepresented artists & tiny “kitchen” businesses, but we do work with a few larger companies, as well. Keep in mind, we are limited in our store by what we can possibly find actually made in the bay area that is up to our high standards, and sometimes it’s extremely difficult to source particular items. Not every single one of our products is going to be made by the representation you may be looking for, but if we don’t carry it, we may be able to point you in the right direction. We are doing the best we can!
We are currently not accepting any new maker applicants during the coronavirus pandemic. Thanks for understanding!
Some of our artists and makers:
Michael Tunk
Analog collage artist Michael Tunk is based in Alameda, California. He finds his images everywhere from Little Golden books and old pulp novels to science textbooks and vintage etchings. 
Dandelion Chocolate
“This San Francisco bean-to-bar producer makes artisanal single-origin bars wrapped in beautiful paper.”
— FOOD & WINE
Dare I say the best chocolate made in the Bay Area? When the concept of terroir makes it to chocolate, this is what you get--pure chocolate bars made only with single origin cacao beans and sugar. There's nothing like it.
Bicycle Coffee
Freshly roasted coffee delivered by bicycle to our shop. Not only that, but the organic beans are sustainably grown with partnered farms 
Sarahjane Bernhisel
Artwork by one of the owners of Bay-Made is sold in the form of art prints and stationery items. 
Illuminati Waxworks
Soy candles from an Oakland studio which feature phthalate-free scents and moody, luxe branding. These candles are long lasting and clean burning, and come in recyclable and reusable packaging.
