THE CONTEMPORARY CRAFTS MARKET.
(Old Pasadena, Ca.)
Good News this Holiday Shopping Season!
American innovation, artistry and craftsmanship comes alive in Historic Old
Pasadena. 200 modern-day-masters, artisans, are hand-crafting the new
classics for Christmas! Meet The Makers. Buy the Best. Buy American-Made.
Everything is made-by-hand with beauty built to
last. Modern-day masters are creating museum quality jewelry, textiles,
ceramics, fine furnishings, hand-blown glass and more.

Everything is available for purchase. Even better, this show offers prices for
everyone. It is also a chance to meet the artisans and discover the human
element infused into everything you see.
Clothing Designer Giselle Shepatin
Just like the artisans, their custom creations are one-of-a-kind. Who needs
malls and mass produced everything else? The ultimate luxury is always
hand-made. It may be the shopping season, but American-Made Craft is
timeless and designed to last a lifetime.
THE CONTEMPORARY CRAFTS MARKET turns 31 this year.
There’s a reason why this is one of the longest running shows of it’s kind.
It is a work of art founded and led by CEO Roy Helms:
“This event meets at the artful intersection of traditional techniques and modern tastes. I first
created the show because I could never find anything I wanted in the stores. Here, I want every
beautifully crafted product I see! The public demand for hand-crafted, American-Made,
artisanal work has never been higher. This show is an artful oasis designed to meet the demand.
Creativity, passion and imagination are a recipe for magic. Our Holiday gift to you? The Makers
are making dreams come true.”
Lights, Cameras, Action! A Star is Reborn with Reclaimed Fiddleback Wood.
A Hand-Crafted Desk by award-winning Wood Artisan Michael Olshefski of Primal Modern.

Wearable Art!
Bring out your inner artist and create the perfect gift: a custom, hand
painted silk scarf! Silk Artisan Sharon Gellerman will lead hourly silk painting
workshops.
