GIFTY 2021: A Holiday Celebration of Local Creative Culture
After our all-virtual event last year, we are thrilled to be hosting our annual GIFTY Craft Show & Open House in person this holiday season. Join us for three days of the best shopping in the Bay Area. Find all your holiday gifts made by a variety of local artists, craftspeople, and Crucible faculty. With metalworkers, ceramicists, jewelers, artisan bath suppliers, chandlers, and so much more, you are sure to find something for everyone on your list.
In between shopping, catch our expert faculty leading live demonstrations in Neon & Light, Glass Flameworking, Blacksmithing, and more! There will also be family-friendly paid and free hands-on activities. And while you explore, enjoy seasonal treats, delicious beverages, and $25 off every Crucible class.Â
This is a great way to support local artists and learn more about the many different classes offered at The Crucible.
Please note: Proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test result within the last 72 hours will be required by all those over the age of 12 to enter the building. Masks will be required unless eating or drinking in designated areas, and non-compliance will warrant removal from the event.
