It’s after turkey day and just in time to get you decking the halls. The largest weekend holiday craft event in Northern California is back to celebrate art, music and free speech radio. The 38th Annual KPFA Crafts and Music Fair have taken a new direction. This time around many exhibitors will showcase eco-friendly crafts using recycled materials.
Green designers include jeweler Kelly Morgan who uses recycled ivory from an 1880 antique piano, Ceramic artist Rose Lee who uses recycled clay scraps, newspapers and bags and Mixed Media designer Carol Dede who creates steel knives from recycled sawmills.
Just like every year more than 200 Artists has been selected to participate. Non-stop live performances will include jazz, hip hop, bluegrass, blues and world music musicians along with Youth Poets and artists interviews. Upsurge!, a East-bay poetry- jazz band ensemble voted “Best of the East Bay” in 2003 will take centerstage on Saturday. While enjoying the sounds and exhibitions, sample gourmet cuisine from around the world. So tis' the season with art.
