WEEKEND: Arts, crafts offered at Port Townsend sale

PORT TOWNSEND — Handmade goods will be offered for sale at the Port Townsend Arts Guild’s annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair today and Saturday.

The sale will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St.

Visitors will find hand-woven rugs, gold and silver jewelry set with semi-precious gems, leather bags and belts, photography, silver chain work, sculptural jewelry, knives, a selection of pottery, enameled artwork, a variety of woodwork, sweaters, fleece clothing, purses, skirts, watercolors, lamp-worked beads, handblown vases and paperweights.

Student musicians will perform downstairs during the sale.

There is no admission fee.

The artists will donate a portion of each sale to the Jefferson County Food Bank, as they have done for the past 20 years.

In addition to crafts offered by the artists, the Community Bowl Project will sell bowls painted by the public at the Uptown Street Fair in August.

They will offer the opportunity for fair-goers to paint bowls at this fair as well, with all sales benefitting the food bank.

Proceeds from booth fees will go toward providing college scholarships to students interested in the arts.
