Saturday, Nov. 21, will kick-off LCA's 6th annual Holiday Artisan Market. The Gallery Shop will spill into LCA's main lobby until Jan. 2, 2016 to accommodate thousands of unique items for the holiday season. Learn how to "Trim Your Tree" from noon-1 PM (CST) with Interior Designer Marcia Sindone who will demonstrate how to morph an ordinary tree into a dazzling display with hand-made ornaments and garland featured in the Holiday Artisan Market. This free event is open to the public. Stay after to get an early start on all your holiday shopping needs.
The 2015 market features gift-giving possibilities at every price point by artisans from the Midwest and across the country. Impress friends or family who have exquisite taste by gifting them one of the many contemporary hand-blown glass sculptures created by the Hot Shop Glass Blowing Studio located in Valparaiso, IN. Out of Kalamazoo, MI, Skyler Brez creates whimsical felt cuffed bracelets and scarves. Each cuff features intricate detailed beading. Bobbi Kahn from Flossmoor, IL, creates chic necklaces and bracelets that go with any style; perfect for the hard-to-buy-for person in your life. Kahn's designs are versatile for any personality type - laid back or fashionista. For the bohemian family member pick up a pair of earthy earrings created by Californian Karen Mahmoudi. Each earring is created out of sterling silver and polymer clay. The market also offers unique toys for children. Ann Thompson from Portage, IN creates precious sock bunnies. Not only are these creatures soft and cuddly, but the remaining proceeds goes towards Sojourner Truth Foundation in Gary, IN. New items are arriving daily in the market, so check back often.
