THE CONTEMPORARY CRAFTS MARKET  A HAND-CRAFTED HOLIDAY!        October 31-November 2, 2014

Make it a hand-crafted holiday!  The Contemporary Crafts Market brings The North Pole to Pasadena, California. Busy as Santa’s elves, more than 250 skilled artisans are creating a hand-crafted Christmas for the public.  Under the tree? Jewelry, ceramics, furnishings, sculptural glass, custom footwear leather goods, textiles and many other All-American originals. 

The Contemporary Crafts Market proves holiday dreams do come true. Including this one: forget malls, traffic jams, mass produced products or snow!!  At this Winter wonderland, shop and meet the accomplished artisans who create unique gifts of functional art.

Shop for objects of beauty you won’t find anywhere else at prices everyone can afford. There is a story behind everything you see. This is a juried show which means the work is of the highest quality. Artisans, from California and The West, set the stage for the very best of American craftsmanship.

ROY HELMS, Founder and CEO - Contemporary Crafts Market                                “We invite everyone to reimagine craft. Nothing is more magical than objects of art designed to last a lifetime whether it is furniture, glass or jewelry. Beautiful hand-crafted functional art enhances your life and home and we can’t imagine a better holiday gift than that!  The public is buying creativity with the personal touch. They are also supporting entrepreneurs who are fueling one of the bright spots in our economy. This show celebrates the best of them – the makers, modern day masters who turn passion into products everyone loves.”

Craft in America is a $30 billion dollar a year industry. Half of U.S. households participate in some form of it.  This may be a mass produced world, but the demand for hand-crafted creations, made in The U.S.A., proves some things are worth the wait!                                                       

The Contemporary Crafts Market is a priceless part of the big picture.  Nearing its 30th year, it is one of the longest running craft shows in Southern California:  a timeless tradition and an All-American success story in the competitive world of art.  Join us!
