oliday shoppers and art
aficionados alike will
find plenty to ogle at the 26th
Annual Washington Craft
Show, taking place November
1 to 3 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
This year’s show will display
the work of 190 contemporary
craft artists in a dozen different media including furniture,
ceramics, glass, basketry,
paper, wood, wearable textiles
and jewelry. A professional
jury selected the artists, who
hail from all over the U.S.
Informative discussions by
craft experts round out the
weekend. At 1 p.m. on Friday,
November 1, Smithsonian
American Art Museum director Elizabeth Broun and Renwick Gallery curator Nicholas
Bell will share their thoughts
on contemporary American
craft. And on Sunday, November 3 at 2 p.m., artist Amy
Nguyen will discuss how an
extended trip to Japan influenced her textile creations.
Fashion shows highlighting
the work of many exhibitors will
take place on November 1 at 3
p.m. and November 2 at 1 p.m.

I am an architect and interior designer.
I focus on quality and the skillful
combination of all the components of a
project, from very technical issues like
building codes, to the very fine details
such as accessories. With Studio Santalla,
you get the services of both professionals
together, which results in efficiencies of
time and resources.
