Berwyn Craft & Vintage Market June 16

A year or two ago a friend invited me to the Berwyn Craft & Vintage Market, and I finally applied. So once I return from Bead & Button, I will pack up my stakes and ornaments to explore this new-to-me suburb. The Craft & Vintage Market is slated for Saturday, June 16 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Friendly Tap, 6733 Roosevelt Road in Berwyn, Illinois.

The handmade community of Berwyn is rich with makers, artists and small businesses. The monthly JLH C&V Market is a way to showcase and support that creativity, while also bringing our beautifully diverse community together. The pop-up shops for June 16th are as follows:

Maikes Marvels, whom you know well!

CN Factory: At CN Factory we make screen prints that mash up our love of all things nerdy with a little hometown pride. The perfect gift for the hard to shop for.

LargoMade: Ryan Largo is a Berwyn based leather craftsman that makes one of a kind wallets, purses, flasks, mason mugs, wall hangers and other assorted leather goods. LargoMade merges classic leather craft with the classic imagery from Americana, traditional tattoo flash design and backstreet graffitti to create heirloom quality usable and enjoyable keepsakes. All items are hand tooled, dyed and sewn from bare American produced veg tanned leather. I’ll have a wide variety of goods to purchase and take home with you at the show but I’m always glad to talk about a special piece that you’d like to commission.
