DETAILS: Quickly becoming one of Portland premiere craft events, the Formal Holiday Artisans Fair combines the finest of the season – elegant décor, festive live classical music by violin and cello, and a select group of makers offering quality handmade gifts for giving. Come early and be one of 100 guests to receive goodie bags full of handmade treats. Gift-wrapping is available starting at $2 a package. One hundred percent of gift-wrapping proceeds go directly to p:ear mentoring.
This year, Handmade NW (http://www.handmadenw.com/) partners with p:ear (http://www.pearmentor.org/) as a benefactor for this event. p:ear will host an information booth for those looking for more ways to support their agency.
This event serves to support an economy of crafters and artisans who have committed to bring quality handmade goods to our community. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing. Handmade NW encourages all to support the local economy by buying local handmade gifts this holiday.
