The long-awaited American Craft Council Show in Baltimore begins today! More than 700 of the country’s leading artisans will showcase their handmade work including jewelry, furniture, clothing, home décor, and more. This year’s show also includes two categories that will be particularly green in spirit.

The Green Craft section of the show features artists who are integrating sustainable methods and making items from found, recycled, and green materials. The AltCraft section features seven local indie crafters whose work illustrates the innovative techniques and materials (including sustainable and green materials) of the burgeoning handmade movement.

On display through Feb. 28, the Baltimore show is the largest in the country. Visit the American Craft Council web site for details on times and tickets.

Whatever you do, don’t miss it!
