San Pedro’s Hidden Jewel

CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles sign

It’s full of color, sound, and creativity.  Everything you see has an artist’s story behind it.  And forget what you think of, when you hear “crafts”–this is definitely NOT your grandmother’s macrame!

CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles is a vibrant new crafts market, where almost a hundred fifty talented artisans have permanent stores.   Browsing their aisles, you’ll find everything–from jewelry based on folk magic, to margarita cupcakes and handcrafted shoes!

These are juried artists, selected for their quality and uniqueness.  A walk through CRAFTED leaves you with a sense of warmth, celebration and some very special people who are creating and sharing what they love.

And the exciting part is…what you’ll see is only the beginning!  CRAFTED has a thirty-five year lease…and big plans for the future.   Since their opening this past July 4, they’re working to grow into the nation’s largest indoor, year-round crafts marketplace.

Recently, Outreach and Media Manager Sharon Fain and Acting Director Rachel Robinson offered a look at what’s going on at their unique crafts marketplace…and what you can expect in the future!
