Mark Your Calendar: Whitney Smith Studio Sale

Two of my very favorite local artisans, ceramist Whitney Smith and felted-goodness goddess Patty Benson (aka Papaver Vert), are teaming up for a studio sale this Saturday, May 17.

Jewelry designer Leah Rivers will also be on hand with her beautiful handcrafted creations.

The studio sale takes place at 539 Athol Ave. in Oakland from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 17. (Can't make the sale? No worries -- Smith, Benson, and Rivers all have Etsy shops!)

P.S. Check out the virtual tour of Smith's pottery studio (above) that Victoria of sfgirlbybay put up earlier this week, and the House Voyeur tour of Benson's Alameda apartment (below) that I ran not too long ago.
