About We Are Makers

We Are Makers is an independent print publication founded by Kate and Jack Lennie, two product design graduates from Edinburgh who share a passion for creating, sketching, and building. Launched in 2019 using part of their own house deposit, the magazine was born from a desire to highlight the real stories of makers and the challenges they face in making a living from their craft. Today, We Are Makers celebrates creative communities worldwide, sharing inspiring stories and supporting the next generation of makers through their quarterly publication, podcast, videos, and initiatives like the Makers Grant Fund.

Why RMP Finishes supports We Are Makers

At RMP Finishes, we believe in the power of craft—of hands‑on making, rooted in authenticity, creativity and community. Sponsoring We Are Makers aligns perfectly with our mission to champion the next generation of craftsmen and makers. Together, we’re investing in a future where creative voices are heard, processes are respected, and emerging makers feel empowered to build their careers.

By supporting We Are Makers, we’re not only helping share the stories of today’s makers but also opening doors for tomorrow’s. Because when craft is celebrated and nurtured, whole communities thrive.
