The eighth annual Indiemade Craft Market will be held 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Dec. 5, Starlite Ballroom, 1221 S. Front St., Allentown.

The first 50 attendees receive free swag bags, sponsored and handmade by the Mercantile Home of Easton.

The annual show includes 50 vendors from the region who create housewares, paper goods, dolls, prints, ceramics, clothing, accessories, paintings-drawings, sculpture and one-of-a-kind curiosities. All items have been hand-made from a variety of mediums that include fabric, clay, glass, wood, paper and more.

The Allentown Art Collective will display several works of art by area artists.

Attendees will have the opportunity to try out a variety of crafting techniques and take home an item that they made. Students from the art department at Cedar Crest College will lead family-friendly “Make + Take” crafts.

“This show is craft party fun for the whole family,” said Ann Biernat-Rucker, co-producer of Indiemade Craft Market.

“Our market is an evolving showcase for the many talented creatives who make the Lehigh Valley and this region their home,” added Teri Sorg-McManamon, co-producer of Indiemade Craft Market. “As organizers we want to give people the opportunity to buy handmade creations and show people a good time while doing it: a mission we can be proud of.”
