Dissatisfied with stencils of country ducks and painted wooden slices of watermelon, a hodge-podge of friends started the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair in Boston in 2001. Nine years later this community based event is still growing in popularity and has been produced in Los Angeles, Cleveland, San Francisco, San Mateo and Austin! Bazaar Bizarre Maker Faire will feature over 90 indie crafters and designers from across the country. Approximately half of their vendors are new and emerging talent in the indie craft community. Expect to find a smorgasbord of handmade items, many cleverly made with recycled materials. Something for everyone!
All of the Bazaar Bizarres could not happen without the collaborative efforts of volunteers, local businesses and organizations. The founders of Bazaar Bizarre San Francisco and Co-Organizers of Bazaar Bizarre Maker Faire are Blas Herrera and Jamie Chan.
