What we found thus far in the people we are profiling, is a willingness to share and an unguarded exchange of ideas. We have also discovered a common thread of how these passionate individuals are following their true calling, many times abandoning their first career.
We would like to personally invite you to be a part of the Balustrade & Bitters Encyclopedia, an online community for the design and art industries.
1. CONNECT: Here you can easily create your company and/or professional profile with your official bio and images of your work and/or products. You can introduce new products, connect with current and potential clients, customers, and vendors, stay in touch and informed with others in the industry, and of course, link to your own website. Anyone can access the Encyclopedia and search members by field, area, name, etc. providing instant access to the company, service or product needed.
2. CONTRIBUTE: Establish yourself as an authority in your field. Easily create an article in your area of expertise! All of the knowledge you've amassed in your field can be put to great use here, not only helping you and your company in creating new business by connecting you with others searching for information, but to help in developing what we believe will become the largest encyclopedia for the design and arts industries. You possess valuable information and this is the place to share it.
3. FIND: From upholsterers and re-finishers to dealers and collectors, when looking for a source in the design and arts fields, this is the place to turn.
4. BE FOUND: Create your company or individual profile and be found by prospective clients in or out of your area. Our search function allows companies to be found by name, field, city, state, etc. Currently the following are the fields you can choose from for your profile:
People who create something that didn't already exist, innovators in their particular field, inventors of themselves, these are the ones we look to for inspiration. Our goal is to relay all of this passion to you, dear reader, with photographs, stories, interviews, and GUSTO!
Yours Truly,
