Just in time for those who’ve put-off their seasonal shopping, the “5th Annual Procrastinator’s Holiday Pop-Up Shop” is returning to Richmond Sunday, Dec. 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“This event, for me, is an end of year celebration for the artists that I’ve met throughout my years of vending,” said Samantha Marie of PaperCut Pottery. “Many of our participants are returning artisans with a few new faces as well. I’m thankful for the relationships I’ve built with this community and honored that they trust me to host this event and see it grow.”
The Richmond potter said she is striving to create a “one-stop shop” experience by curating a wide variety of handmade goods for guests to shop. “My dream is that this event will become a tradition for our guests and locals. An event that I label jokingly as #notyourgrandmascraftfair. There’s something for everyone,” she added. At least 25 artist vendors are expected.
Among the event’s artisans will be PaperCut Pottery, Boutique Lulu, Green Panda Eats, CR Glass Arts and numerous others selling ceramics, apothecary, candles, crochet, glass art, home décor, jams, forged metal, jewelry, cards, stickers, textiles, purses, accessories, fashion, laser cut art, driftwood art, 3D printed gadgets and other handcrafted works.
There will be raffles throughout the event with prizes donated by the participating artists. A cash bar and $3 hot dogs will also be on hand.
The event organizer, PaperCut Pottery, sells affordable functional pottery for everyday use.
Find the 5th Annual Procrastinator’s Holiday Pop-Up Shop at the San Pablo Sportsman’s Hall, 5220 Glenn Ave. in Richmond. Parking will be available.
