About OpenDay
Welcome to OpenDay: The Live Handmade Market
Handmade means more when you watch it being made. Have you ever scrolled past a product photo and thought, "I wish I could see this in person"? Product photos can't capture the true weight of a ceramic mug, the drape of a hand-dyed scarf, or the way light plays on a handmade ring.
OpenDay is where you shop directly from independent creators, live. You can ask questions, see the craft up close, and buy directly from the maker — all in real-time. It's the energy and connection of a art & crafts market, live on your screen.
Meet the Creator, Live
Shopping for handmade goods should be an experience — a chance to find a piece you love and learn the story behind it.
We believe the best way to buy handmade isn't by staring at an edited photo. It's watching a piece being crafted. It's hearing the story behind the design and talking directly to the person who made it. By blending the energy of an artisan market with the reach of live video, we let you see the craft before you buy.
A Place for Creators and Collectors
Whether you're here to share your craft or discover unique pieces, you're in the right place.
For the Makers
Sell live on OpenDay and invite people into your creative process.
Set up your shop, add your products, and go live whenever you're ready. During your stream, you can demonstrate your craft and answer questions, showing buyers the skill, time, and care that goes into every piece you make. OpenDay provides all the tools you need in one simple dashboard. You handle the creating — we'll help you share it.
For the Seekers
Drop into a live stream and watch a potter throw a bowl, a jeweler set a stone, or a fashion designer fit a brand-new sample.
Ask questions about sizing or materials in the chat. See the true color and texture of an item from every angle. And best of all, you can chat with a community of people who share your interests. When you find a one-of-a-kind piece you love, you buy it directly from the person who made it.
Our Values
Authenticity Over Perfection
We’re here for the soothing sound of a pottery wheel and the smell of fresh-cut wood you can almost sense through the screen. We want to share that moment when a maker holds up a finished piece for the very first time. Authenticity builds trust faster than high production value ever could.
Community Over Clicks
Transactions are fleeting, but relationships are true assets. We measure success by the strength of the communities on our platform, not just sales figures. We want you to know the person who makes your favorite coffee mug.
Opportunity for All
We believe every talented maker deserves a shop. Whether you're a ceramicist, woodworker, jeweler, or a candlemaker working late at your kitchen table, you belong here. OpenDay gives you the simple tools to turn your craft into a growing business.
