print-4

There’s a never ending supply of local talent ready to help you score some great holiday points with members of your family or those in your circle of friends who value locally-made, hand-crafted items as gifts. Fortunately for you, a large contingent of those “makers” will be on hand late this month for an encore of the Holiday Makers Market at the Box.

On Saturday, November 30th, Artists & Makers will be setting up booth spaces throughout the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph to create a fun and festive Makers Market just in time for the Holiday Season. Organizers invited you to “Come early, stay late, and make a day of it,” promising that, “You are sure to find special gifts for everyone on your list.” The Holiday Makers Market at the Box is open from 10 am to 6 pm and admission is just $5.

The Box is welcoming back some returning artists as well as introducing some new ones. In fact, The Box Factory will be brimming with 35 artists on two levels of the building and many Studio Artists will be open that day as well.

The creative artists of the Holiday Makers Market at the Box are bringing their best in a variety of mediums – jewelry, pottery, fiber, woodworking, paintings, photography, metalwork, leather, soap, candles, quilling and origami, leather, pen and ink, woven recycled art and more.
