It seems the holiday season is upon us. Here’s your chance to cross off that shopping list early, as the annual Carolina Artisan Craft Market comes to town.

Formerly known as the Fine Designer Craft Show, this year’s market also has a new home at the Raleigh Convention Center, where master craft artisans will gather to show off their works.

The show is hosted by the nonprofit Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild. This 47th annual market will feature a diverse mix of craft art including pottery, sculpture, wearable and decorative fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, furniture, leather, basketry, printmaking and mixed media.

“The Carolina Artisan Craft Market celebrates the individuality, uniqueness and innovation expressed by our fine craft artists, and it’s a great opportunity to see and experience the highest caliber of craft,” said Amy Etheridge, Guild executive director.

“We’re presenting 118 artists from a rigorous jury-selection process to ensure an amazing craft experience. With the market, you don’t have to travel to find creative, handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces, because they’re available right here.”

Visitors to the market can also meet and interact with the artists presenting their crafts, and enjoy artist demonstrations and live music.

The Carolina Artisan Craft Market runs Friday, Nov. 11 through Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets start at $7, and are available at carolinaartisancraft.com.
