Micah Gowers shows his wares April 6 at the Kitimat Spring Craft Fair. The annual event provides a venue for all home-based businesses, including artisans and crafters, to promote and sell their works. Gowers’
business, Micah’s 3D Critter-Crafts, focuses on 3D printed items, including Pokémon, dinosaurs, animals and sea life. Gowers, who lives with autism, started the venture at the suggestion of his Grade 5 teacher for a school project. With his parents’ capital investment of a 3D printer, he was on his way for a very successful day at the craft fair, and now has plans to bring his business to the Jack Pine Spring Market in Terrace next month and to other area venues throughout the year.
