Bloomington Handmade Market Information

Talia lives to celebrate local art and the independent maker and thrives in creating the community that helps BHM thrive. Chelsea Jones is the jewelry artist behind Tactile Melodies, wherein she creates beautiful one of a kind pieces that are classy and fabulous! Chelsea's interest range from space (constellations!), history (Hamilton!), and genealogy. You can find Chelsea's work at the many shows she travels to over the course of the year, and often find Chelsea at concerts all over the midwest, world traveler that she is! Sally Harless is the animal draw-er extraordinaire behind Sadly Harmless and has been making prints and cut paper shadow boxes of her animal illustrations for over a decade. When she isn't traveling to craft shows all over the Midwest, she's going swimming or hanging out with her french bulldog, Monty. Sally is one of the founders of BHM and while she now lives in St. Louis, she's the lady behind many of the things that can get done remotely. Allie McHaley is the sole artist behind Allie & Tess , a line of copper electroformed jewelry. A self-proclaimed recovering social worker, Allie believes in the healing power of connection, and enjoys creating pieces that allow individuals to step into their personal power! When she's not at her workbench or working at , Allie travels around the Midwest and East Coast for art fairs and festivals. Allie is based in Spencer, Indiana, just 20 miles from downtown Bloomington, where she lives with her husband and their five pets, George, Tess (yes, that Tess), Steve, Bruce, and Rocky!
