Pile of Craft 2014

​This weekend marks Charm City Craft Mafia’s eighth annual Pile of Craft—one of the city’s unique (and free to attend!) craft fairs.

This weekend marks Charm City Craft Mafia’s eighth annual Pile of Craft—one of the city’s unique (and free to attend!) craft fairs.

The self-acclaimed “Craftiest Bunch in Baltimore” has recruited more than 45 artists from across the country to sell their handmade items at the fair. These crafts will range from paintings, prints and ceramics, to stationery, toys and home goods, to apparel, jewelry, handbags, and more.

And even if you’re not shopping, you might just go home with some of the pieces on display. The fair’s raffle (tickets will be available at the information table) will afford fair goers the chance to win donated items from Craft Mafia vendors. Proceeds will go to charity.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the artists and to learn some crafting themselves—Baltimore Print Studios will lead DIY printmaking demonstrations.

While enjoying this one-of-a-kind shopping experience, enjoy coffee and food catered by Red Emma’s.

When: Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: 2640 St. Paul St.
