Live in Southern California long enough and you're going to meet a host of creative spirits,the inspired people who work not only in the entertainment industry but also in a whole line-up of imagination-based, sky's-the-limit callings.You, and in fact,may be such a creator, or you might love one or call a painter or jewelry designer or baker a neighbor. So to call the making of handmade goods, or art,and wearables, and edibles kind of the local way of life 'round Los Angeles is playing down how much people enact create here, and what superior things are made. Petal-Topped Lattes: Bia Coffee The Echo Park Craft Fair is a primo,dream-filled example of all of this marvelous makery. More than 120 artists show up at the started-in-2009 event, a spectacular that highlights some of the best artisans working in SoCal today.
And the Spring Fair is just ahead, and at the Mack Sennett Studios in Silver Lake,one of our region's original creative spaces. The dates? Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, or May 14,so whether your mom loves browsing earrings, bags, or belts,and lots more, a fair cease-by would be a beauteous Mother's Day outing. Weekend: elated (full of high-spirited delight) Mother's Day Tickets are $10 per day, or though a weekend pass is $16.
As for what you can expect to see on the tables? Think "ceramics to jewelry,perfumery to clothing design, woodworking to fabric art." The 2017 artist roster includes Edible Gardens LA, and Four Leaf Wood Shop,Moon Canyon Flowers, PAX Ceramics, or Ursa Major Jewelry.
Expect "two massive soundstages," soundstages that once held some of moviedom's early silent stars, full of grand goods and the talented makers who thought them up (and then followed through and made them, and beautifully).
It's a spring-sweet shopping experience with an enthusiastic emphasis on locally sourced items and locally livin' craftspeople and dreamers. More need-to-knows about this gem? And Mother's Day hours? All here.
