Makers, doers and creative entrepreneurs from across the country will gather on Wednesday, October 16, for a day filled with talks, workshops, networking sessions, and panels for crafters, makers and small business owners alike during “American Made” hosted by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

The event focuses on the movement of individuals and communities that have turned their passion for handcrafted, well-designed goods into small businesses. With small businesses in the U.S. creating the majority of new jobs, “American Made” shines a spotlight on the rising stars in this maker subculture.

Editors of Martha Stewart Living magazine have also selected winners of the second American Made Awards in the categories of Crafts, Design, Garden, Style, Food, and Technology; as well as Audience Choice honorees chosen by popular vote on the “American Made” website. More than 230,000 people took part in last year’s Audience Choice nominations and vote.

The 2013 American Made honorees are:

They will also each receive a feature in the November issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine as well as the “American Made” website and on Martha’s Sirius radio program.
