What is it?

Crafty Bastards will be held outdoors on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014 at Union Market. Admission is $5 each day (ticket price subject to change).

Why are we doing it?
As D.C.'s premier alternative newsweekly, City Paper promotes underground art and strives to connect the voice and vision of the indie craft community with our readers. Every fall we hold the fair which creates an experience where consumers can discover unconventional, hard-to-find arts and crafts, meet the artists, and even make something themselves.

When is this event and how do I find it?

Crafty Bastards will be Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28, 2014 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The eleventh annual event will be our third show at Union Market, located at 1309 5th Street NE in Washington, D.C., and accessible via the NoMa-Gallaudet University/New York Ave. station on Metro's Red line.

What kinds of crafts will I find?
You won't find mass produced or imported goods here. You will find talented vendors handpicked by a select jury for their DIY chops and singular vision selling things you never knew existed and that you may never see again! There'll be surprises at every booth including reconstructed clothing, punk-rock baby clothes, handcrafted jewelry, whimsical and demented plush toys, handspun yarn, screen-printing, avant-garde art and much more!
