Black Friday! Small Business Saturday! Cyber Monday! Giving Tuesday! If all that isn’t enough to get you excited about Holiday Shopping, I’ll give you another: the Second Annual SansOoxygen Craft Fair Fundraiser!

We such a great time last year, we decided to do it again. Several artist have donated some of their handmade items and artworks, but we are still open to receiving more!  (Even Vernon’s sister has sent jewelry from England.) The art market/craft fair will be held at our beloved San Clemente Art Supply on the evening of Friday, Dec 11 and during the day on Saturday, Dec 12. There will be fabulous musicians at all hours, and plenty for the kids to do on Saturday.

Just like last year, we hope that this will be a community celebration as well as a fundraiser.

Here are a couple of examples of what will be available. So far, there will be crocheted/knitted goods, handmade cards, most of my old paintings (and some from other artists as well), pottery, stamps, photo prints, drawings, tee shirts, stamps, CDs, hats, metalwork, woodwork, and succulents. How is that for a start?

I’ll also be at the Art Supply this coming Saturday morning—this time to teach a block printing workshop. It’s $75 for a three hour class, in which we will be carving designs into linoleum blocks, then printing them into blank cards to make a set of 20 unique holiday (or otherwise) cards. Each student will receive the tools as part of the cost, and once they learn, they can continue to make prints at home. I’d love to have you if you can make it next Saturday morning.

Please call ahead or sign up online as we will need to know this week if there are enough people to take the class. (We need at least 8.) Here is the link. Here is the number: (949) 369-6603
