About us

Meet Brande

I’m Brande Wester, and crafting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a fourth-generation artist, I grew up surrounded by creativity—watching my mom teach art and my grandmother run her own studio. Their passion became my foundation. 

I’m a proud graduate of Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, where I focused on drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography. After years in the corporate world, I’m honored to step into this dream full-time—bringing art to the forefront of my life and building a space where others can do the same. 

About Craftinest

Formerly known as Crafting at The Nest, our store is proudly transitioning into Craftinest—a creative hub for artists, crafters, and makers of all kinds. Located in Orange Park, Florida at 1580 Wells Rd., Suite 9 (ZIP 32073), our space is dedicated to inspiring creativity through both products and hands-on experiences. 

We specialize in paper crafting, painting, sculpture, stamping, die cutting, multimedia art, and drawing, with a wide range of specialty tools including Copic markers, fine art pens, pencils, and more. 

Our store is split into two parts:

  • Shop

    One side is fully stocked with carefully curated craft and art supplies.

  • Studio

    The other is a vibrant studio space for workshops, classes, and community events

We're proud to host regular crops, art classes, workshops, pop-ups, and collaborative events with other small businesses. Craftinest isn't just a store—it’s a community.
