Some of the greatest indie marketplaces on the planet can be found flowering around Los Angeles, as well as marvelous maker-centered festivals, the sorts of events that lavish a large assortment of handcrafts and handmade goods with well-deserved attention.
We're lucky, in short, to live in a place with so many talented artisans and all of the creative fairs they festively frequent.
And if you find yourself constantly drawn to the ceramic areas of these markets, all to admire the exquisite bowls, dishes, and pots that have been so lovingly created at the wheel, then you are likely a longtime fan of the Craft Contemporary on Wilshire Boulevard and one of the museum's marquee celebrations.
