Peralta Junction's Pop-Up Creative Commons has become a hive of weekend activity in West Oakland. Movies, music, dancing... Each weekend as the doors open up inquisitive visitors are treated to art, food trucks, performances and a special booth of artists from The Crucible showing (and selling!) their wares.

A few of the artists showing off their craft include:

• Lauren Ekman with handmade glass beads and jewelry (etsy.com/shop/redredmelt)
• Cliff Bohm, blacksmithing and beautiful knives
• Sam Waller and his leather work
• Ben Cowden with kinetic sculpture (twentysevengears.com)
• Rob Nehring with metal sculpture (rustynoodlestudios.com)
