We did a super fun tintype popup at the 2025 Makers Market – Pinecrest Village, Manitowoc. The Makers Market features dozens of historical artists and creators and is sponsored by the Manitowoc County Historical Society. Makers practice handmade craft from the 18th and 19th centuries and include pottery, blacksmithing, wooden shoes, sewing, cloth making & weaving, wood working and (of course) tintype photography invented in 1851.

We had so much fun over the weekend. Met a lot of old friends and made some new ones. I only wish I had had more time to get portraits of all the wonderful people and Makers at the village!
