Creative Cabana Brings Crafting Community Together in Parma
PARMA, Ohio — Creative Cabana is more than just a craft store; it's a vibrant community hub for local artists and crafters. Located on Broadview Road in Parma and launched in 2022 by the dynamic duo Sare and Yaminah Ortiz, this place is all about creativity, education, and camaraderie.
At Creative Cabana, the focus is on providing a welcoming space for crafters to meet, learn, and share their passion. “We’re all about fostering a sense of community over competition,” said Yaminah, affectionately known as the 'Creative Chica'. The shop offers a variety of craft classes and custom items, with a monthly calendar filled with sessions taught by local artists.
Nikkie Brown from Cleveland 13 recently visited Creative Cabana to explore the crafts and items available. During her visit, Yaminah demonstrated a cup customization using sublimation, a process that imprints designs onto various materials. As a fun surprise, Yaminah personalized a cup for Nikkie with her 'Hit The Town w/ Nikkie Brown' segment logo, showcasing the versatile creative services offered at the shop. The Cleveland 13 producers had sent the graphics to Yaminah the night before, adding an extra touch of excitement to the visit.
Creative Cabana also hosts private parties and events, creating a hub for local small businesses to collaborate and support each other. By offering a platform for artisans to display and sell their creations, the shop is helping to build a tight-knit community of creators who support and uplift each other.
“Our mission is simple: to help our community one craft at a time,” said Yaminah. “We’re here to make crafting accessible and fun for everyone.”
