Laurel Makers Market Recap

Last weekend I participated in the Laurel Makers Market, a small craft fair in my own Oakland neighborhood, the Laurel District. I really love being able to support the neighborhood I live in and hopefully encourage local spending and growth. It was so fun to see friends and meet new people, and I got some awesome (and helpful!) feedback on my new necklace, earring and ceramic designs. Lots of folks were really interested in the ceramic knots I’ve been experimenting with, so I’m planning to make some more of those.

I’d love to sell at this market a few more times this year. It will be a monthly event, with a rotation of vendors, with a selection of about 25 local makers featured each month on the third Saturday until October. Follow @laurelmakersmarket on Instagram to see what vendors will be there each month.
