TR Makers Co.

TR Makers Co. is a heartbeat of creativity tucked into Travelers Rest’s Main Street, where the hum of imagination is as steady as the traffic outside. Step in and you’re surrounded by shelves lined with handmade pottery, hand-printed bandanas, and quirky gifts that radiate the fingerprints of local artists. The energy is infectious—more art studio than retail shop—where kids’ laughter spills from birthday parties in the back and adults lose track of time shaping clay or carving stamps at weekend workshops. A visit here isn’t just about shopping; it’s an invitation to make something yourself, with warm encouragement from staff who clearly love what they do. Locals treat it as a creative anchor for the community, signing up for classes that blend art with science or bringing friends just to play. Tourists find authentic souvenirs with a story, but it’s the participatory spirit that lingers—a place where anyone can be an artist for an afternoon, no matter their age.
