Indie Craft Experience this weekend

Four reasons you should check out the Indie Craft Experience (ICE) annual craft fair this weekend:
1. You have more time. This year, the nationally acclaimed craft festival is now a two-day event! You can drop by ICE either Saturday or Sunday.
2. You can buy cool stuff. ICE supports artists who create uniquely smart, hip, and useful objects, ranging from beautiful handmade books to artist-designed purses. (Or, as Felicia Feaster observed, the occasional homemade menstrual pad.) This isn’t your grandma’s craft fair!
3. You can get more ideas for your weekly Stitch ‘n Bitch sessions, or any other project you’ve always wanted to do but never knew how. ICE has a full schedule of workshops, including several metal-smithing and jewelry-making classes, as well as a tutorial on how to recycle grocery bags into clothing or even a rug.
4. Freebies! The ICE website promises “cotton tote bags full o’ swag to the first 500 attendees on Saturday!”
The annual ICE craft fair will take place at Centennial Olympic Park this Sat. and Sun., May 30-31 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
