Frederick MADE provides a fun opportunity to shop local and support artists

Miranda Mossburg has designed clothes, jewelry and accessories for her business Sweet As Sugarcane, since 2018, but during the pandemic, she partnered with her mother, Christy Mossburg, to launch Frederick Makers, a local online shopping platform. By October 2021, the mother-daughter duo was ready to open the offshoot of that website, a brick and mortar shop called Frederick MADE on West Third Street in downtown Frederick. The shop features work — mostly functional art and crafts — by artists in the DMV region and is open by appointment and for special events and workshops. Sweet As Sugarcane items are now housed among work by dozens of other artists in the shop.
