Annual fall artisan market with handwoven goods, jewelry, and home decor from local fiber artists.
Contemporary Handweavers of Houston are holding their annual Fall Artisan Market at EGFX on Friday, October 23, from 6 PM to 9 PM. It's a one-night event that doubles as an early holiday shopping trip, with the room filled with one-of-a-kind treasures from local fiber artists. You'll find handwoven towels and linens, artisan jewelry, naturally dyed children's clothes, fall and Halloween items, woven wall hangings, hand-dyed scarves, and artisan baskets.
The market is run by the Contemporary Handweavers of Houston, a non-profit fiber-arts community that offers classes in weaving, dyeing, spinning, and felting, volunteers at local arts events, and works to preserve and advance the craft. The money raised from the market goes back into the nonprofit's ongoing fiber arts education for the greater Houston area, so buying a scarf or a set of linens helps keep those classes running.
If you've been looking for gifts that aren't from a big-box store, this is a good place to start. The range is pretty wide—from practical things like towels and linens to more decorative pieces like wall hangings and baskets, with a few seasonal items for fall and Halloween mixed in. Everything is handmade by local makers, and since it's a one-night market, it's a straightforward way to pick up a few unique pieces before the holiday rush really kicks in.
