Art Star’s Craft Bazaar at Penn’s Landing May 15-16th was like a tangible shopping trip on Etsy, full of hipster artists and crafters selling their one-of-a-kind masterpieces. It was a perfect sunny weekend to walk around the 128 vendor booths and enjoy the featured music.
My first assignment: 1895 Years of Pottery at the B-Square Gallery on South 9th Street organized by Neil Patterson and Sandi Pierantozzi. The show is a collection of 74 pieces of utilitarian pottery from 60 different potters around the nation. Each potter is a leader in the field having over 25 years of experience.
