FEATURED ARTIST!

" I started crocheting almost 2 years ago when my mom gave me a “Learn to Crochet” book for Christmas. Being left-handed made it a little difficult because I had to flip the instructions in my head, but I was immediately hooked. I started making hats and selling them in my Etsy shop along with jewelry and other handmade goods inspired by the surf lifestyle. I love making things and am always learning new crafts, but crochet is my favorite medium. It lets me work with color and texture in an almost sculptural way.

I met Katy at an event held at BBC a few months ago. I was drawn to her table filled with wonderfully unique items, and we struck up a conversation. I mentioned I crocheted and she said “Can you make hats?” I have been in the Female Art Collective ever since, and it has been a great experience. Katy and Mary are awesome to work with and are truly committed to making the FAC successful.

I really enjoy going to the FAC events. It has given me the chance to see how people react to my hats, which allows me to understand what is working and adapt to what people want. Being a part of the Female Art Collective has really helped me grow as an artist. I have several new hat designs in the works, and I plan on expanding into fingerless gloves, bags, and maybe even crochet jewelry! "


Aww! We love you, too, Jami! & your husband, Jason! He's definitely part of the FAC as well!


Jami is a wonderful example to new handmade business owners and new artists with the Female Art Collective. She is always offering us a large selection with the same quality and Sunset Surf feel. Her pieces have done so well! I remember looking around the first BBC event and seeing like 4 of Jami's hats sitting pretty on heads in the crowd. She is currently working on new projects for the Female Art Collective and is taking part in our expansion. We've been really blessed to have her support and talent!
