The city-based community, Flea 080, is back with another of their themed flea markets. This time around, the group has put the spotlight on all things crafty with the Bengaluru Art & Craft Festival. The two-day event will let you stock up on everything from home decor pieces, stationery, organic apparel, accessories and even quirky products, courtesy artistes and craftsmen from the city. Looking for something more? There are workshops and short eats on offer, too, we hear!
Who Is It For?Want to score some crafty goodies, or, perhaps try your hand at making something yourself? Well what are you waiting for? Schedule this into your calendar now! When there's the added attraction of shopping and grub, how could you possibly say no to it?
Why Should I Go For It?Apart from intricately designed lanterns and lamps to light up your space, there will be reusable and quirky notebooks on offer. While the hand-carved walking sticks fitted with everything from a torch to binoculars from Bheem Styx is ideal for adventure enthusiasts, they also work well if you're hoping to add an interesting element to your home. Bringing some apparel {this includes hand-painted and organic stuff}, vibrant bags and accessories into the mix are stalls by the likes of Levitate and Rapchick. Oh, and workshops for paper cutting, jewellery making and clay animal making to sign up for. Once you've got your fill of the artsy stuff, make sure to fuel up on chaat or flavourful snacks on sticks from Sticksnax.
