This Weekend in San Francisco: Celebration of Craftswomen




Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the annual Celebration of Craftswomen show in San Francisco. The show continues this weekend at the Herbst Pavilion at Fort Mason. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Bay Area's most talented female artists will be selling their handcrafted goods. This was the second year I've attended the Celebration of Craftswomen (check out my coverage from last year), and it's so great to have an outlet to buy handmade holiday gifts directly from the makers.

Here are some of my favorite vendors from this year's show. And don't fret if you can't make it to San Francisco this weekend, many of the artists sell their goods online.

I bought a few pieces of Village Clayworks' pottery for holiday gifts. Lucky for you, the pieces are available on Etsy.

I want to buy all of Octavia Bloom's jewelry featured on her Etsy page, especially these hoops.

Last year I discovered Gaslight's beaded jewelry and I was so excited to see them again this year. I am so in love with everything they make!

As far as holiday decorations go, I like handmade pieces that have a folk art feel. This year I discovered Willow the Wisp's wood carvings, which are available on Etsy.
