"Necessity is the mother of invention"
— Plato
Founder and artist behind Crafted by Craftsman, Faith Andrews is a farm wife and mother of two with a vision to support and inspire creatives to follow their passions and inspire creativity.
She has spent over 12 years honing her skills as an artist and leather craftsman. From the start, Faith experienced firsthand the challenges of balancing the creative process with the demands of running a business—juggling roles as manager, accountant, marketer, and shipping coordinator, all while trying to reach the right audience. “It was exhausting, and despite my hard work, growth remained a struggle.” Faith says. However, her journey inspired her to create a solution for other creatives facing the same challenges. Today, Crafted exists to support U.S.-based artists by providing access to a dedicated team of professionals who handle the business side—so makers can focus on their craft. “We operate with honesty, integrity, and transparency, and our mission is to help artists build sustainable, family-supporting businesses rooted in creativity.”
