Anthology, LLC

Product/Service

Anthology is a new paper and craft shop featuring original Made in Madison creations as well as artisan supplies, craft kits, how-to books, craft parties and drop-in activities such as our hugely popular Make-a-Button-for-a-Buck ($1). Many of our handmade creations are cleverly crafted by local artists using recycled materials: bottle cap necklaces, juice pouch wallets, storybook bracelets, mosaic picture frames, vintage fabric purses, and Madison photographs framed in reclaimed wood.

Buying Local

We provide a highly visible venue for local independent crafters to sell their work and recirculate their money back into the community. Rather than await a cargo container from China we can make merchandise right at the shop and ask our artists to drop off more work the next time they are in the neighborhood. Many of our crafters like to buy from each other and shop local thrift stores for their raw materials. We encourage people who reserve our craft table for private parties to spend a whole day downtown, shopping, dining and creating.

History

Sisters Laura and Sachi Komai grew up in Madison and opened Anthology in March of 2008 in order to showcase local handmade goods and provide a creativity lab on a burgeoning arts block. We have both taken numerous workshops and classes in drawing, printmaking, bookmaking and collage and are happy to share our crafty ideas.
