Hi, I’m Danielle Kaminski
Founder of Artisan MADE and Owner of Reinvintage Warehouse in Spartanburg, SC.
As an artist and product creator, I’ve spent years exploring color and texture in both canvas and wearable art forms. Hosting this retreat allows me to share my passion for creativity while connecting artists like you with a supportive community.
I created Artisan MADE because I know what it’s like to feel stuck. To doubt your skills. To long for connection but not know where to start.
I created Artisan MADE to inspire, uplift, and empower artists of all levels. This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a movement to celebrate creativity and bring artists together.

Here’s what past attendees had to say:
“My cousin and I attended Artisan Made to connect with other artists, to experience new areas of creativity, and to grow artistically,
What we gained from Artisan Made did not disappoint. It provided us with an opportunity to step away from the everyday and be inspired by new techniques, perspectives, and community.
Our Favorite Part of the retreat was being surrounded by like-minded creatives who uplifted and inspired us. The hands-on workshops were incredible, but the real magic happened in the moments of laughter, storytelling, and connection.”
- Deborah A.
“The Artisan Made retreat has been and will remain one of the highlights of my art journey. Danielle's Reinvintage Warehouse is a magical venue to host such an event. The venue itself is like no other. It's a place to dream and allow your imagination and creativity to soar. The warehouse is full to overflowing with the beauty of gifted artisans and crafters of every kind.
For me, it was a heartfelt desire to meet so many virtual friends in person. The gathering of mentors, artists, and business leaders in the industry is priceless. From the teachings to the demonstrations, from the hands-on classes to the fellowship around a meal is extraordinary. There are no words to express the gratitude I still feel from attending this event.
The relationships we build are priceless. As we listen to the stories of others and have the privilege to speak words of encouragement to those who need to be refreshed, we walk away with a new sense of vision and purpose. It's a time of healing, laughter, at times tears, and a sense of wholeness restored. It was for me a RESET in mind, body, and spirit, taking with me a piece of each one's heart, being thankful, and having a stronger resolve for having met each one.
I am forever changed.”
