About Us

The Local Artisan Collective is owned and operated by Stephanie and Jenny—moms, entrepreneurs, and artists who met while selling their art at local art festivals and boutiques. Over the years, they each created a loyal following and eventually joined forces to fill a need they recognized in the community to have an affordable place to shop locally year-round. Their vision was to help other artists succeed and provide a joyful shopping experience for people who want to “buy a piece of a story” and support local artists instead of mass-produced stuff and big box stores. The Collective is also a supportive venue for local Northern Utah artisans to sell their work and studio space to work in and teach classes.
Meet Jenny

Jenny is a former junior high woodshop teacher who married René, a 16th generation silversmith from Colombia. Together they create handcrafted fine jewelry and sell it at art festivals and through their business, Galleon’s Gold Jewelry, LLC. René also teaches silversmithing and jewelry making classes at The Collective.

Meet Stephanie

Stephanie has long-held a passion for giving back to the community. After graduating college with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology and Art, she did social work for over 15 years before starting her own business in the arts, Our Children’s Earth, LLC. She loves expressing her creativity while being eco-friendly and staying home with her children.

The Local Artisan Collective now features the work of over 50 artisans and offers a variety of monthly art classes and popular events throughout the year all conveniently located in downtown Ogden at The Junction next to the Megaplex Theater on Kiesel Avenue.
