WHO
THE MAKING OF A MAKER...
Liz has been honing her creative skills since she was old enough to hold a crayon. She began the Honeoye Craft Lab to mesh her interest in the arts with her desire to create a place for community members to connect, as well as her interest in showcasing incredible local artists. She learned various crafts through both self-teaching/experimentation and formal instruction. Current skills include, but are not limited to, duct tape construction, dyeing, glass flame work, hand spinning, knitting, lip balm/lotion making, polymer clay cane work, soap making, and weaving. Along the way she obtained a bachelors degree in the history of science, medicine, and technology from Johns Hopkins, a masters degree in the study of environmental law, and a juris doctor from Vermont Law School. She may be found editing tax law treatises and organizing fiber festivals when she is not otherwise creating.

​MISSION
The Honeoye Craft Lab is a place to experiment. We firmly believe that a solid understanding of the basics allows each maker to create pieces unique to them. We encourage people to try new things and have fun in the process.
​
We also believe craft is a great way to strengthen communities. Bringing people together to create in a casual environment gets conversation flowing and you never know who you will meet or what fantastic collaborations will ensue.
Because we are such a fan of strong communities, we also seek to showcase local talent and connect shoppers with locally sourced goods. Our shop offers high quality pieces made by local artists and craftspeople, as well as supplies for your own creative endeavors.
