We’re gearing up for what is sure to be the biggest, brightest and best GIFTY yet! Are you ready for two days full of demos, hands-on family-friendly activities, and the best Bay Area artisan vendor shopping? To get you prepped for GIFTY, we put together a fun crossword puzzle with clues about what you’ll find at our craft show and open house.
For most makers, November is high production time, and that is no different for Latisha Baker. This year, she’ll be returning for her third GIFTY craft show at The Crucible. About a year-and-a-half ago, Latisha committed to making art full time, but she’s been creating fine and wearable art for the past two decades.
At GIFTY 2019, dozens of leading East Bay artists, craftspeople, and Crucible faculty members will be selling their best handmade pieces in a holiday celebration of local creative culture. You are sure to find the perfect gifts for the toughest people on your list with vendors showcasing exquisite pieces of jewelry, locally designed clothing and accessories, whimsical metal sculptures, practical ceramic tableware, and more!
We hope you had as much fun at GIFTY as we did! With 69 local vendors, prizes, hot drinks, delicious food, fiery demos, record-breaking attendance, and more, this was a weekend to remember!
GIFTY will be packed with opportunities for you to shop from 68 local vendors, eat delicious food, learn from faculty demos, create small gifts, win amazing prizes, and more! We made you a helpful flow chart to create your game plan!
