Admit it, you’re “crafty”. And so am I.
And for the next three weekends, not only do you get to see some amazing crafters–you get to expand your DIY skills, courtesy of Patchwork Show Modern Makers Festival!
Patchwork Show has embarked on a month of appearances in both Southern and Northern California. This Sunday, November 13th, they’ll be hosting their largest event, in Long Beach!
Expect to see more than 200 gifted makers at this free-admission event in Marine Stadium. Musical performances, food trucks and artisan foods will be part of the fun. And Patchwork Show is highly pet-friendly, so you can bring your favorite canine along to explore with you.
It’s also bike-friendly, and they do have a bike valet!
Now–about those DIY activities.
Just a few of the ones listed, for Patchwork Show Long Beach, include making your own jewelry, courtesy of Gogh Jewelry Design. As well as doing some simple weaving, with Macaf Hats. And getting an early start on 2023 by making your own crystal wish bottle for the New Year, with Kuboandlucy Stationery Co.!
Kids, meanwhile, can do yarn painting with Hooked Up By Chantel. Or make their own custom hair bow with Third One’s a Charm. Or showcase their artistic flair with coloring pages provided by Visual Splat Illustrations. (And “tall kids” are welcome to color, as well!)
And if you aren’t in the area but would like to know more about upcoming shows, their Oakland Patchwork show happens Saturday, November 19th, in Jack London Square. And on Sunday, November 27th, they’ll be wrapping up a busy month with 80+ vendors at their Patchwork Show in Santa Rosa.
Patchwork Show Long Beach opens at 11 am, Sunday, November 13th, and runs through 5 pm in Marine Stadium, 490 Bay Shore Avenue at Paoli Way. Admission is free, and bikes and pets are welcome.
