Welcome Shoppers! My name is Caitlin and I am the owner of Sierra Craftwërks, Crafting Company. Crafting has always been a passion of mine inspired by my mom, Cathy. As the youngest of four kids, and my closest sibling being six years older than me most of my childhood consisted of my mom and her best friend dragging me along to craft stores and craft fairs. Eventually, my mom decided she wanted to attend craft fairs as a vendor, and that’s how a Sierra Craftwërks was started. My dad would build tables, benches, wall hangings, etc. and my mom would design and paint them. Many of my weekends were filled with sitting in my parents booth at craft fairs all over the state.
My mother passed away in 2012 and I’ve made it my responsibility to keep her passion for arts and crafts alive for my eight nieces and nephews. All of the kids crafts in our shop are 100% tested by my nieces and nephews because the truth is, I don’t want to provide products that aren’t going to bring joy, happiness, and creativity to the whole family. I love seeing the smiles on their faces when they love what they’ve created.
I work full-time and as many of you might agree, being stuck in an office all day is not the most rewarding job. I wanted to do something I was passionate about and loved doing. That’s why I decided to start my own company and open an Etsy shop. When thinking of a name, I wanted something that meant a lot to me and honored my mom in a way - that is why I chose Sierra Craftwërks.
