My name is Denise and I live in San Diego, California with my husband and my Havanese puppy, Romeo (he is really 4 years old, but still looks like a puppy!).

I started crafting when I was 9 years old when I tagged along with my mother while she attended her monthly craft gatherings at a local recreational club.  I have always loved learning new crafts and equally enjoy teaching others what I have learned over the years.

I started SoCal Made so that I could share my love for local crafters, designers and makers in a retail environment.  It is like a small craft show in a store.  You will find many different handmade and locally designed items to choose from. We are getting new makers each week so your shopping experience will change each visit.

If you would like to learn how to make the items you see in the store, please visit our list of classes to see what subjects might interest you.  Classes are taught by me, outside vendors and different vendors who sell items in the store.
