Carisa Orlicz of Sugar Grove sells body care products under the name of Ursula Naturals during the Makers Market Saturday at Brother Chimp Brewing in North Aurora.
“We did the first one of these a couple of years ago and there is an organization known as Streetz Artz Alliance that works with a lot of the local breweries doing this,” Newman said. “We use local artisans for each one, and it always varies as to which ones will be there. We have a couple vendors that do very well that are here on a repeat basis.”
“Maybe they haven’t been to my brewery before and now they’ve discovered it and they come back,” he said. “At the same time I’m bringing in my local people and they are discovering artisans that they’ll keep a look out for the next time they’re at a different art show. They’ll catch them there.” Alissa Harris of Schaumburg, curator of Saturday’s show, said that “Newman cares and knows that a lot of his patrons are artists.”
Carisa Orlicz of Sugar Grove was selling body care products under the name of Ursula Naturals at the event. “I like there are a lot of unique things that you don’t see everywhere and it changes every time,” Wuchte said. “I’m drawn to whatever I see and like although we usually buy from Ursula Naturals every time. We’ve bought jewelry, stickers and art before – whatever we feel like that day.”
