Gifted

This is a unique holiday market and conversation on the topic of ‘true cost’ and ‘true benefit’ of an item. We’ll explore the complex issues that surround both buying local and handmade as well as from global corporations.

(ie: “This scarf is beautiful and you made it but it costs a lot of money and I can get something kind of similar from Target but it might be made from slave labor–ugh.)

The market will feature a curated collection of locally handmade goods that showcase Denver’s best local talent.

The hour long discussion will take place at 6:30pm.

There will be raffle prizes, interactive booths, cold cheeks, hot cocoa, and of course.. warm cookies!

Sponsored by: Create Denver, Sweet Action Ice Cream, Fashion Denver, Fancy Tiger, Denver Handmade Alliance, Denver Handmade Homemade, Access Printing.

Cookies from WaterCourse Bakery and Santa Fe Cookie Company.
