About us!

We are in our 2nd year of operations and are impassioned and inspired by the artisans, community members, and team members that make up the Lethbridge Handmade Market. The LHM team is made up of friends and artisans that believe in the importance of creating a local marketplace in Lethbridge.

Jessy Gust is the founder, organizer and brains of the market. She has been a passionate artisan for over 10 years! By day, Jessy is a substitute teacher but spends the rest of her time organizing the market, travelling, and spending time with her puppy, Kozmo.

Annie is the co-founder and the market’s Jack-of-All-Trades…because she really has been a jack of many trade. She is the market’s graphic designer and co-organizer and as such is a valuable member of the team! She is inspired by connecting the local community of makers, and in her spare time enjoys digging in the dirt.
