Founder Marta Diaz
I have always loved creating things with my hands, and over the years I’ve tried many different crafts.
About 10 years ago, I enrolled in a jewelry course at the Arlington Center for the Arts. When I learned how a plain piece of metal could be transformed into a beautiful pair of earrings, I was hooked. That’s when I became interested in metalsmithing, and my jewelry journey began.
A few years ago, I learned to sew, and I haven’t stopped since. Sewing is a very versatile art, and I’m still discovering all the things that I can sew. One of the things I enjoy the most about sewing is how much I can play with color and textures.
Why did you apply for Project Pop-Up?
I applied for the Holiday Pop-up in Melrose because I’d love to have a retail space in the future. Right now, this is a great option for me; the pop-up is like having your own small store for a week.
I live and work in Melrose, and I believe this would be a perfect opportunity to showcase my work and connect with this fantastic community.
I think this experience will help me connect with customers, listen to their feedback and ideas; also, it can help me meet other small business owners and share experiences, resources, and much more , making this an invaluable learning experience
