SF Etsy's First Online Holiday Craft Show with Etsy Market
Normally at this time we would be preparing for our 8th Annual Indie Holiday Emporium, but obviously 2020 is not a normal year, and we will not be holding our holiday show in person.
However, we are partnering with Etsy to provide 3 days of Virtual Shopping! Here’s how it works: RSVP to this event to get access to our live shopping portal. Starting November 27th, shoppers will then have the chance to connect with sellers, ask questions and make purchases for the holidays from San Francisco’s local makers. Pre-shop our 2D Art and Sculpture Makers below:
The Etsy Market brings its first-ever virtual market experience to The San Francisco Bay Area, November 27th, 28th & 29th
The Etsy Market, a seller-led, Etsy-sponsored initiative connecting shoppers with local sellers in their communities, is coming to The Bay Area, for a first-of-its-kind virtual holiday shopping event on small business weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday 9am-6pm. Organized by the SF Etsy Team, the shopping event will highlight over 200+ local Etsy sellers, offering shoppers the chance to discover one-of-a-kind items and thoughtful gifts for everyone on their list, from Home Decor to Jewelry and Accessories, Fashion to Self Care, while meeting the makers who bring them to life. Ahead of the holiday season, at a time when small businesses need support more than ever, Etsy is bringing The Etsy Market to multiple regions across United States this fall, with over 60 events happening worldwide.

 #Inktober 2019 Since 2009, artists from all over the world have participated in the Inktober drawing challenge. Artists share an ink drawing each day during the month of October, based off a list of single word prompts. That's 31 drawings in 31 days! According to its creator Mr. Jake Parker, anyone can participate in the Inktober challenge - you just have to "Pick up a pen and start drawing!" The Inktober challenge helps every online participant to focus on improving their personal artistic abilities, and in doing so, will develop strong working habits. Everyone can see the Inktober illustrations on Instagram by searching hashtags like #Inktober, #Inktober2019 and for our teammates, search #InktoberSFetsy Artists! Are you curious yet? The official list is the most popular Inktober prompt list and it is a great place to begin but you are free to explore other prompt lists! We've seen artists, in the past, choose to do 31 days of a multitude of themes, like "31 mythical creatures," or "31 portraits" for example. Search for 2019 prompt lists online and pick a challenge that suits you best! It's really up to you to get as creative as you want. Creator, Jake Parker, says it is ok to take it easy if you need to, "You can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week." The goal is to get you illustrating, and to be part of an artistic community challenging themselves and pushing their talents during the month of October. What you Can do on Instagram to Support the Inktober Artists: 1. Search the team's hashtag #InktoberSFetsy during the month of October. Follow these artists, comment on their drawings, and most of all "Like" the Inktober drawings they share 2. Check out the official #Inktober and #inktober2019 hashtags and discover some amazing new artists from all over the world to follow. 3. Be encouraging. Tell them what you like about their drawings! Your comments and support will really inspire the artists through out this month-long challenge. 4. Have fun following Inktober and consider the challenge yourself - this year or maybe someday in the future!

| What started off as a simple 3D printed gift for a friend, Claudia Ng's first planter became the founding Succulent Monster. Succulent Monsters are intended to add a dash of green on your desk and a bit of delight in your day. Each one is 3D printed, including the porcelain ones, and Claudia loves to talk about her process - visit her booth at IHESF to find out more! |  |
 | Plantillo pillows look so realistic, its hard to believe they are images printed on fabric, and not 3D! Designer Sabine Hermann discovers the "Season's beauties" with her camera on walks and bike rides in the San Francisco Bay Area. All photos are custom printed on cotton canvas or a sturdy poly. The shape of the pillows is inspired by the actual plant transforming it into a "Plantillo" which doesn't need watering and you can even rest your head on! |

Young America Creative is inspired by the collaborative efforts that make each project possible.

Welcome to SF Etsy
We're a collective of over 2700 Etsy sellers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The SF Etsy Street Team is 100% in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
We condemn the violent acts, murders, crimes, and police brutality inflicted on the BIPOC community. These terrible and senseless acts must come to an end!
As a team, we will continue to share and raise awareness for our community of artists, specifically, black, indigenous, and people of color.
We urge you to make a purchase from a BIPOC artist, maker, dreamer and small business owner.
---------------------------
Like the San Francisco Bay Area in which it is located, SF Etsy is a vibrant and diverse community, full of creativity.
We strive to support and promote local Etsy sellers by sharing expertise and advice, hosting local shows and events, and providing a valuable network of local talent and resources.
