This “modern handmade festival” has grown from one short block of artisans and craftspeople selling goods from little kiosks to four separate festivals, each a seemingly never-ending line of 10-foot-by-10-foot booths selling everything from custom flasks to jam, from garden decorations to found-metal works of art. And while Patchwork Shows in Long Beach, Culver City and Oakland are all great in their own right, Santa Ana's is the most popular and the best of them, having grown so large its own food vendors have been spun off into a separate artisanal-food festival.
