Nester: Makers Handbook
Publishes: March 28th, 2026
Space & Materials Due: February 13th, 2026
Building on the great success of Nester - our annual home design Magazine, our new spring edition (pocket book sized!) will introduce you to Portland-based creators who are shaping the way our homes feel — from textiles and lighting to furniture, wallpaper, and beyond. Step inside their studios to discover their inspirations, their processes, and the craft behind their work.
Alongside their stories, we’ll share accessible ways for you to develop your own creative practice, with recommendations for local woodworking workshops, pattern-making courses, and other hands-on opportunities to explore your own design potential.
The Makers Handbook is an ideal platform for partners looking to reach Portlanders who are passionate about craft, creativity, and thoughtful home design.
