If your idea of crafting is hot-gluing Popsicle sticks to photos of your brother’s dog, then you may want to leave the arts and crafts up to the professionals. Rather than visiting Etsy yet again to purchase your artsy crafts made by some schmoe in Timbuktu, try supporting artisans and craftsman in your local area by visiting Santa Ana’s Downtown Craft – a craft festival for up-and-coming artisans local to Orange County, featuring live music from local bands, live art, 40+ vendors and benefiting a good cause. Partial proceeds and donations from Downtown Craft will benefit Arts Orange County, the official agency representing OC artists. Be there or be a bent out of shape, not-quite attractive pipe-cleaner-made square.
