Have you done your holiday shopping yet? You may want to set aside some time and money to support local artisans who are making some of Los Angeles' most delicious edibles at the Artisanal LA Holiday Pop-Up Shop. Sunday's event is bringing together over 50 vendors, including the Altadena Urban Farmers Market (currently on hiatus) and demos and workshops from Joseph Shuldiner's Institute of Domestic Technology.
$5 gets you in the door, as well as the chance to catch some workshops and demos, sample craft beer, local wine, coffee, and Honest Tea beverages. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the host venue, the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena.
There are some great vendors in the line up, including some Artisanal veterans and crowd pleasers, like Cast Iron Gourmet, I Heart Pies, Creme Caramel, and more. Jellies, sauces, teas, sweets, and lots of other eats will be up for sale and suitable for stuffing stockings...or your own face.
Pre-sale tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite and include a tote bag for the first 500 attendees. Tickets will also be available at the door. Cash only.
