Craft Contemporary Makers Market

If you’re making a list and checking it twice, consider Craft Contemporary’s annual holiday marketplace for unique handmade gifts and an opportunity to buy directly from the emerging and established L.A. makers behind them, chosen for their top-notch design and craftsmanship. If you want dibs on the most in-demand options, check out the ticketed preview on Friday evening, with refreshments, music and gift bags. Otherwise, stop by the museum over the weekend to check out the latest exhibitions and shop. There are even some workshops where you can tap into your own craftiness: Make 3-D paper snowflakes on Saturday or finger puppets on Sunday—both free—or craft your own holiday centerpiece using greens and florals (12:30pm, $65).
