I came by here for something, totally forgot the reason and saw what I thought was a farmer's market. But it wasn't. This was a cool show and we saw the end of it. But it was fun looking at all of the people selling their wares. I'm glad that we went. While not a destination, if I were in the area, I would come by. read more

Patchwork puts on shows in numerous locations. I went to the Jack London Square show. Surprisingly, there were several things that interested me, however, I did stick to my plan; not buying anything until I downsize what I have now. I did think that most of the items were reasonably priced. Food was available from Tacopocalypse, a gathering of food trucks. The food looked good and smelled wonderful. The lines were long; they snaked around the whole area and it was hard to find the end to get in the right line. I decided to bypass the food. I am going to be on the lookout for more Patchwork shows. read more

The honey and I caught the tail end of the Patchwork show (after having serious issues finding parking) and it was totally worth it! The prices were excellent, especially in end of day we just want to get rid of it mode.We ended up going havsies on this gorgeous crocheted blanket from WestAndEast that the honey ADORES. It is so soft and fluffy and not too warm. And the service was so friendly! I also ended up getting a hat from Woolables that was so.much.fun! It was xmas colored and had the cutest little pom pom at the top! So adorbs! We will definitely come back next year! This is the type of craft fair we love! read more

If you're looking for local items, this craft fair was full of a wide variety of things to choose from. It seemed like there was a lot of items for kids this year. I saw some really awesome things and even bought a few. I bought some ornaments for gifts and I also picked a home made make up bag. They had a deal buy two for $14! I needed one and it's larger than the others I've seen. I also picked up another one for a friend. It was probably the best thing I could've purchased. I've seen some of the other vendors at various craft fairs - prices were all over the map. The spacious area of Jack London Square made it easy to navigate despite the crowds. The photobooth was super fun. I still need to download our pics. Overall, I would definitely stop by one of these again, especially when I like giving home made gifts and supporting the local economy. read more

Very interesting to browse through this fairly large indie craft fair and look at local crafts and arts. There was everything from chocolate to jewelry and clothes to metal and woodworks. Prices were all over the map depending on the vendor. I found some really cute and enchanting custom LOTR necklaces and exquisite tea-infused chocolates. Didn't approve of the entry into the fair though. Why must I give out my email address to sign up for the mailing list before going in? It was really confusing. I would have also appreciated a place to sit or to buy drinks/snacks inside. read more

I went to the Patchwork Show last year. Any time there is a chance for me to see and support local small business and their work, I am all for it. The woman checking people in at the front door was nice to me. She gave me a free Yelp tote bag even though I forgot my password (I had it reset to a new one recently) and couldn't check in. The place was spacious and fitted many vendors. Merchandise included handmade soap, skincare, and bath tolietries, clothes, jewelry, acessories, handbags, chocolates, preserves, and the list goes on. Even though there were some pricey items, there was plenty of merchandise for those who are on a budget. If nothing else, you could just browse around. There were plenty of edibles to sample. I ended up getting a jar of violet preserves from a French couple. I also enjoyed some carrot preserves from another vendor. The flavor was nothing you would expect from a carrot. If I had more money on me, I would have definitely bought a jar. I received a small peppermint soap sample. My friend and I enjoyed sampling the chocolates with unique flavor combinations. I wasn't able to go to the 2015 show but hopefully I can attend the 2016 one. read more

Came to this event to support the art of Nidhi Chanani, whose cool prints we had first seen at the HMB pumpkin festival (see for yourself: http://everydayloveart.com/). It's one of those things you do solely out of love (especially on football Sunday). But I was pleasantly surprised, and it made for a nice day! Parking can be found in surrounding streets (free on Sundays), there is also a parking structure (paid parking) around the corner. Nice area to walk around at. Coupled with the Farmer's market there is lots of opportunity to support local businesses. There were quite a bit of vendors at the festival selling things like t-shirts, prints, clocks, necklaces, suits, and music. Many of the vendors were set up to accept credit cards, which was convenient. Yelp offered a free gift wrapping station. Thanks Yelp! read more

The holidays are around the corner and with all the news about selfish corporations and such, I decided to take a stand an do my shopping locally and use my dollars to support small businesses. The Patchwork Indie Art and Craft Festival couldn't have happened at a more perfect time! Usually, I live in Phoenix for work. When I'm not working, I'm in the bay area, so "local" has several meanings for me. This is the first year Patchwork happened in Oakland and I hope that the tradition continues. There is a collection of some really great artists who sell everything from t-shirts, uniquely designed clothing (dresses, etc.), kitchen items, artwork, etc. A lot of the items have some great local flair. I love the Oakland and San Francisco themed items! There is no charge to come to the event. It's located at the heart of Jack London Square, so parking is pretty abundant. There are garages around, or for a short walk, you can do street parking, which is free on Sundays. I dragged the Manpanion to Patchwork because I wanted to get the bulk of my holiday shopping done here. Specifically, I wanted to buy some prints by Nidhi Chanani (that's where I found out about Patchwork). We went early and managed to avoid the crowds. I walked away with three of Chanani's prints and the Manpanion purchased both of her books. Seeing this artist was worth the trip from South San Francisco. I did manage to find some other things, but I still have to conquer my holiday shopping list. Overall, the adventure to Jack London Square was great! There was a farmers' market going on and the area has some great places such as Blue Bottle Co., which is very close. For those of you with families and are looking for a kind-friendly place, the park and the kids' craft corner inside the pavilion are great for that. Finally, yelp offered free gift wrapping and there was a photo booth, which was cute and fun. Keeping fingers crossed that this is a regular event! read more

This 1-star rating is for the entry system just to get into the festival. Why are you forcing people to give up their email addresses by making them sign up on your mailing list before they can get in? Ridiculous. People are here to shop, not get spammed. With the plethora of social media platforms out there, people will follow/like/etc your organization if they feel like it, don't force us to do it and make us wait in a line. OTHERWISE, cool festival w/ a nice variety of vendors. It's great to see more activity at JLS. read more
