Congratulations to local crafters Annie Chau and Ali Dryer for winning this year’s Best of Baltimore!

Best Local Jewelry Designer: Imogene

Annie Chau has an affinity for woodland creatures and organic shapes; her lovingly sawpierced metalwork breathes new wildlife into the local craft scene. Check out her commemoration of this year's BOB, etched in sterling silver (below left).

Best Local Etsy-er: Pistolstitched

Ali Dryer’s handbags are a wonder to behold and it’s difficult to choose a favorite. When I first saw them in person, I was speechless. Had Rachel Zoe been on Bravo at the time, I would have known to declare “I die.”
