This holiday season, forget all the commercial department stores, and shop local artisan goods! And the best spot to check out for all your holiday gifts? Definitely the Indie Craft Experience, Atlanta’s longest-running indie craft market!
From amazing gifts for loved ones to a little somethin’ somethin’ for yourself, you don’t wanna miss out on the Indie Craft Experience!
What is Indie Craft Experience?
For 2 days artisan crafters, vintage curators and creative small businesses will take over LOOP in West Midtown with original work, hands-on experiences, local food and one-of-a-kind finds.
Owner and Creative Director Katrine Trantham, said in a statement,
The holidays give us a chance to be more thoughtful about what we give and where it comes from. A handmade gift carries the story of the person who made it and the care of the person who chose it. Every purchase helps an artist keep creating. That connection is why Indie Craft Experience matters to me, and why I want a new generation of artists and shoppers to feel part of its future.
