Renegade Craft Fair: LA!
Hot Diggity DIY! Break out your bangs and glasses, indiechicks, its time to get crafty.
The first ever Renegade Craft Fair in LOS ANGELES will take place this weekend, (JULY 11 + 12) from 11am – 7pm, at the California Market Center.
From their site:
“We’ll be taking over the entire 13th floor penthouse of the Center, where gorgeous 360-degree views of downtown LA will provide the backdrop for our FREE urban art, craft and DIY extravaganza!
Over 200 artists are traveling from all over the country and abroad to participate and sell their handmade goods at Renegade Craft Fair – Los Angeles. From clothing and accessories, to stationary and concert posters, with everything from bath products and ceramics in between – there’s surely something for everyone! Be sure to check out our artist page to start working on your wish list.
The most exciting contemporary crafts organizations from across the LA area will be on site hosting interactive workshops and demonstrations. Silver Lake-based ReForm School is offering hands-on lessons in linoleum block-printing both days of the Fair, and The Urban Craft Center of Santa Monica will be leading workshops in zine-making and needle-felting on Saturday, July 11. Clean out your closets before heading to the Fair on Saturday, July 11, as Swap-O-Rama-Rama will be in full swing that day – transforming your discarded clothes into one-of-a-kind, recycled creations!
DJs from Silver Lake’s KXLU will be on site both days of the Fair providing the best indie, commercial free radio found on either side of the Mississippi – breaking only for a penthouse-shaking, hour long performance by LA based jazz-punk mobile ensemble KILLSONIC on Sunday, July 12 at 3pm!
Other event features include free raffles from Jenny Hart’s Sublime Stitching, Stencil 1, Craftside Publishers and Faythe Levine’s book Handmade Nation at the Renegade Craft Welcome Station, food and beverages for purchase from Tiara Cafe, and, as always, lots of surprises! Be sure to check out The Postcard Machine for a little fun with robots and don’t forget to get your photo snapped at a free-photobooth provided by Oh, Hello Friend!”
Don’t think anything sounds quite as fun as this, no sir I don’t.
Aaaaaaaand, its FREE! ‘Nuff said.
Oh man…there are only a few thing that make me regret moving away from LA, but I think this might be one of them. This sounds amazing. AMAZING. Maybe once they are done they can just pack up and make the 22 hour drive to Portland so we can scavenge what is left?
Wow sounds fun! I'm actually going to be selling some accesories in a boutique this weekend, but hopefully I will be able to go on sunday!
wow that looks great- thanks for sharing.
I wish I could go with you!!
I am originally from the south (Mississippi) and I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to live in LA. I bet it can be pretty amazing.
The Chicago one ROCKS. So…Enjoy!
