Turn Your Handmade Talent Into a Thriving Wholesale Business — With the Support You Deserve

You didn’t choose the easy path — you chose to create something with your hands, your heart, and your story. Now it’s time to share that work with the world. Making the leap from retail to wholesale can feel overwhelming—but with the right tools and guidance, it’s absolutely achievable. Many makers are eager to enter the wholesale market but have no idea where to start. That’s exactly why we created IndieMe Academy—a school built specifically for creative entrepreneurs like you. This is more than a course. It’s a year of mentorship, community, and clarity. We’ll walk beside you every step of the way — through product development, pricing, wholesale outreach, and everything in between.

“I didn’t just learn how to sell wholesale — I finally believed I could.”
— Sarah W., IndieMe Artist

Who Should Join IndieMe Academy

Not every learning program is right for every artist. IndieMe Academy was built specifically for makers who are serious about taking their business to the next level in the wholesale marketplace. You’ll get step-by-step lessons, practical worksheets, and mentor-backed guidance designed specifically for handmade businesses. Self-paced learning built around real production seasons with concise, no fluff, practical steps.

IndieMe Vision

This program is perfect for you if:

  • You’re a maker with a vision. You create handcrafted work and dream of seeing it in galleries, boutiques, museum stores, or online retailers.
  • You’re ready to grow. You may be selling retail, but you’re ready to understand wholesale and scale your sales with confidence.
  • You want practical tools, not fluff. You’re looking for clear, actionable steps you can implement in your business today.
  • You value mentorship and feedback. You’re open to guidance, willing to do the work, and eager to learn from someone who’s been there.
  • You believe in community. You want to connect with like-minded artists who share your passion for the handmade movement.

This program may not be the best fit if:

  • You want a quick fix or overnight success without putting in the work.
  • You’re not interested in wholesale or scaling your business to sell to retailers.
  • You’re looking for legal, tax, or financial advice (we’ll point you to the right professionals, but that’s not our lane).
  • You’re not ready to invest time in assignments, worksheets, and implementing what you learn.

Why it matters

Joining the Academy means committing to yourself and your business. We’ll guide you step-by-step, but the magic happens when you show up, do the work, and apply the tools. If you’re an artist who’s ready to confidently step into the wholesale marketplace, then yes — IndieMe Academy is for you.
