The Handmade Showroom is an independently-owned shop featuring finely made gifts by Pacific Northwest artists, designers, and small-batch producers. With support from Pacific Place Shopping Center, The Handmade Showroom provides a retail outlet for local, emerging artists and connects the community with quality art and crafts. Started in June 2015, The Handmade Showroom has grown from a part-time pop-up shop with 35 artists to a full-time, permanent storefront that focuses on bringing attention to over 100 local artists and makers and fostering the idea that community can happen in a shopping center in the middle of downtown Seattle.
