CraftBoston: A Steampunk Spring

For those of you who missed it, CraftBoston Spring was about a month ago, and it was pretty terrific. I loved the variety of jewelry and pottery and was especially impressed with the sculptures made from felt and recycled materials.

The fair had a Steampunk focus, and some of the artists had cleverly combined a steampunk aesthetic with their own unique style. Typewriter keys, wheels and cogs, and copper abounded! For those artists keen on Steampunk style, the fair allowed them to feature their work and discuss it during a series of presentations during the three-day event.

...It's taken me far too long, but I wanted to post images from websites of some of the artists represented at the fair. I'd especially encourage you to check out Eshelman Pottery, which has some great options for those of you searching for a unique bridal shower, housewarming, or hostess gift:

Additionally, If you missed the fair, but would like to celebrate the imaginative world of Steampunk this weekend, head over to Waltham, which hails itself as "the original Steampunk city." The Watch City Festival continues into tomorrow, and includes performances, vendors, and hot air balloon rides.
