Atlanta’s longest-running handmade market, Indie Craft Experience (ICE), will return May 5-6 at The Goat Farm with a brand new look. Now under the creative direction of Tiny Rhino Productions, the organization is looking forward to a renewed focus on the community.
Founders Christy Petterson and Shannon Mulkey Green stepped down from running the market in 2023, and longtime ICE fan Liz Roberts took over. But in 2025, the year of ICE’s 20th anniversary, Roberts announced via Instagram that she was passing the torch due to a personal loss. It was revealed in May 2025 that Katrine Trantham, founder of Tiny Rhino, was the new owner of the craft fair.
Originally hosting multiple fairs per year, including spring, summer, fall, Halloween, holiday, and pet markets, Trantham reduced the frequency to two per year: a Spring Experience and a Winter Experience. This allows for “deeper focus and a refined presentation,” according to the ICE website.
Tiny Rhino Productions was founded in 2025 and has plans to launch their first CraftCrash event in 2027, a professional development seminar for crafters and artists in the Southeast. According to their website, Tiny Rhino “blends thoughtfully curated, high-energy markets with practical, community-driven business education, cutting through all the online noise to deliver practical, usable knowledge in a relaxed, supportive environment.”
With highly curated vendors, climate-controlled indoor venues, and showcasing something for everyone, ICE caters to its devoted community, drawing in over 2000 visitors during a weekend market.
“For the last 20 years, Indie Craft Experience has celebrated accessible, handmade culture,” Trantham said in a press release. “This spring, we’re leaning into the exciting middle ground – where independent makers are pushing into contemporary craft conversations. And just as importantly, we’re still embracing the playful energy and quirkiness that people know and love us for. Shoppers can expect to find many of their longtime local favorites while also discovering an exciting wave of new talent from across the Southeast.”
Artists and crafters from across seven states in the Southeast will host booths at the Spring Experience, continuing ICE’s efforts to support small businesses and independent makers. The Winter Experience will take place Dec. 5-6.
