The Richmond Craft Mafia presents Handmade Holiday 2010

RICHMOND, VA - Skip the holiday shopping trip to the mall and join the Richmond Craft Mafia at Plant Zero on Sunday, December 12, from 11 to 5 for the Sixth Annual Handmade Holiday.

Moving this year’s event to a larger venue means even more handcrafted goodness than ever before. Additionally, the RCM have expanded the event to include not only local crafters, but some of the best independent crafts folk from across the country!

Want an idea of what you’ll see at this year’s show? Think modern takes on traditional crafts like pottery and knitting, as well super fresh styles of jewelry, t shirts and clothing, bath and body goods, toys, art, and way too much more to even think about listing!

Rubbing out the mass produced is a serious undertaking, but the RCM is dedicated to supporting the handmade movement, and making the Handmade Holiday event hugely different from run of the mill craft shows. By painstakingly jurying each show they produce (which means reluctantly nixing many, many worthy artists) the RCM brings Richmond the most amazing variety and quality of handmade designs, making sure visitors will never see the same show twice.

Check out which vendors will be showing this year, and get event details and directions by visiting the event website at www.richmondhandmadeholiday.com. You’ll also find a sneak peak at some of our vendors’ favorite items!
