Renegade Handmade

by Matt B on January 16th, 2008

I've been called crafty at times, but I'm by no means a craftsman. Just putting together bookshelves from IKEA is a challenge for me.

Fortunately, there are plenty of artists out there whose functional and beautiful handmade products can be found at the Renegade Craft Fair. But if you happen to miss the two-day event, no worries. You can find all the screen-printed T-shirts, jewelry, poster prints, and more at Renegade Handmade.

Featuring the work of over 100 artists both local and international, this Wicker Park store (next door to the Milk & Honey Caf') was created as an extension of the fair and carries a quirky collection of, well, everything. Purses, camera straps, poster prints, shadow puppets, stuffed animals, stationery'

It's a handmade heaven.
