Meet The Maker: Jackie Balz

Welcome to my corner of the internet! If you speak fluent sarcasm, take your coffee seriously, and have a bit of a potty mouth, you’ve finally found your people.

Based right here in Lakeland, Florida, I started Crafty Balz because I believe your gear should be as bold as your personality. Whether I’m in my "Granny Era" troubleshooting a fresh loaf of sourdough, chasing my "Goose Gang" of four feral kids, or sipping a Caffè con l'uovo, I’m always creating.

Everything you see here is hand-pressed by me in my workshop. From our signature iridescent glass cans to the "Sassy AF" apparel that says exactly what you’re thinking, each piece is made for the warriors, the coffee-obsessed, and the ones who aren't afraid to keep it real.

Thank you for supporting a local maker and being part of the chaos. Now, grab a drink (adult or otherwise), stay sassy, and let's find your new favorite fit.
