Ton Pottery- a teaching studio for ceramics out of Millvale that began exploring other sources to support handmade in Pittsburgh once they had to shut their doors due to Covid. One of the things they started doing was curating small runs of "kits" featuring local handmade work. Many amazing local artists are available to purchase from via their web-site (direct link below) June 2020.
CP Live welcomes Jennifer Baron, Director of Marketing and Outreach for the Handmade Arcade craft market, and Val Snyder, Handmade Arcade planning member and proprietor of Simon’s Granddaughter. Hear about new happenings, vendors, and helpful shopping tips for the big event happening Dec. 6-7 2019.
One of my most cherised projects to be a part of. Greatful to inspire and educate youth makers! Looking forward to 2019’s makers.

2018 Workshop : Mentors meet the Youth Makers. “We had a fantastic workshop this weekend with our 2018 YOUTH MAKER SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS, who will all be featured in our Youth Maker Alley at Handmade Arcade on December 8! We discussed everything from product packaging and pricing, to sourcing, booth set-up and marketing to production methods, local resources and more. Participants also had one-on-one meetings with HA organizers, mentors and vendors. Thank you so much to Remake Learning and The Grable Foundation for their vital support of this program via a Great Remake Micro-grant, to this year’s makers & mentors, and to Construction Junction for hosting us in their beautiful space. We are so inspired by these talented and thoughtful teens and we can't wait for you to meet them and see their wares.
