Maker's Stories

Type B Laboratories
Ketchum, Idaho
Founded in 1990

The great thing about art is that before I start a project it doesn't exist but when I'm finished it does, pretty cool. 
Jack Weekes is the founder and sole employee at Type B Laboratories where he paints, draws, screen prints, and airbrushes, doing pretty much whatever it takes to get the job done. His art celebrates Idaho, its people and mountain culture primarily in limited-edition runs. His work is collected by locals and tourist alike.

Independent Goods
Ketchum, Idaho
Founded in 2016
In 1999, Susan and Mark met and found that one of the things that drew them together was story telling. Hilarious adventures with friends, favorite childhood memories, and unknowingly the idea of Independent Goods was being created. Couple that with a love of giving unique handmade products as gifts, the idea of the store went from a long-off dream to a reality. Beyond searching for the best new products, they are now making and partnering with Makers to create unique, first-rate products with the hope they will provoke laughter, a want to share your own memories, and create new ones along the way.
