We're looking for independent designers to join us in the loft area of our Short North location. If you're passionate about hand-crafting quality goods, live in or near the Columbus, Ohio area, and think your products would be a great mesh with our storefront we'd love to hear from you.

There are two styles of loft space currently available:

The Retail Studio - an approx. 120 sq. ft. booth area next to the balcony railing, suitable for an in-house work space or simple studio. There's room for a work table as well as an available fitting room and mirror for interaction with customers. You’ll have space to meet and discuss custom designs with interested patrons and also to display your wares and your process. We love seeing creativity at work.

The "Mini-Booth" - a shelved showcase that is perfect for stationary goods such as handmade candles, bath and beauty products, etc. We’re looking to highlight the work of a local artisan whose handcrafted products display well merchandised on a shelf.

As we are a small storefront that operates on a personal scale, our selection of loft vendors will be carefully juried versus first-come, first-served. If you're interested in learning more, email us at info@shopsubstance.com. Make sure to send images or links to your website, or information about who you are and what you love to do.
