We want to extend a sincere thank you to our wonderful customers and community for your patience over the past couple of months. The Hidden Maker has been closed while we take time to thoughtfully reconfigure our space and mission so we can better serve our community.

We’re working behind the scenes to create something even more welcoming and inspiring for makers of all ages. Soon we’ll be sharing updates about our new hours, upcoming classes, and other exciting things we have planned.

We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to open our doors again soon. 💛

Who’s ready for spring and mushroom hunting season?

Drop a mushroom in the comments if you’re in!

The Hidden Maker is excited to offer mushroom foraging classes starting this March. Space is very limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early!

Kim is a certified mushroom expert in the state of Michigan and has taught at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. With over 10 years of hands-on foraging and study, she brings deep knowledge and real-world experience to every class. Her specialties include medicinal mushrooms and preserving wild harvests for food.

Come learn, explore, and connect with nature this spring! 🍄

If you have taken a previous class, please post your experience below. We’d love to hear from you.

📣 An Update from The Hidden Maker

We want to share an update about our retail space. Not having our own entrance and being located alongside appointment-only businesses made it difficult for retail to succeed. Because of that, we are shifting our focus to what has always mattered most: art, technology, and hands-on learning in the Big Red Building.

Our products will still be available at local markets and partner locations, and we will continue to take custom orders for personalized gifts, parties, and events. New classes and workshops will be announced soon.

Starting today, we are offering computer technical support for $1 per minute. If you received new tech over the holidays and need help setting it up or have questions, please call or text me at 231-640-0516. I specialize in being patient and non-judgmental when it comes to learning technology.

Thank you for supporting The Hidden Maker as we continue to grow and adapt.

⏰ OPEN NOON–5 TODAY ⏰

I was going to open at 10, but the roads said, “Turn around, you chaotic little craft goblin,” and I listened.

So instead of fishtailing into a cornfield and becoming a roadside cryptid, I’ll be opening at NOON.

If you manage to skate your way in today, you officially have your life together more than I do and you deserve a medal, a cookie, or at least a high-five for surviving Michigan driving in the winter!

See you at noon… unless I get kidnapped by a snowbank. If so, release a statement saying, “She lived as she crafted: chaotically, covered in glitter, and slightly feral.” There is a reason my husband nicknamed me squirrel Kim. 😆 Pic for attention. 😊 Drive safe everyone!
