From December 2–4, CraftBoston Holiday once again sets up shop at the Hynes Convention Center in the Back Bay, offering eager patrons the chance to marvel at the latest creations from some of the top craftspersons from across the nation. Items from ceramic and wood vases, handcrafted jewelry and even clothing are on display and ready to purchase for your holiday shopping needs. Partygoers can get in on the action as well with the preview shindig Holidays & Highballs, which takes place December 1 from 6–9 p.m. and features handmade tumblers for all ticket buyers, as well as retro cocktails and classic tunes. The $100 entry fee benefits the show’s organizer, the Society of Arts and Crafts, which is the nation’s oldest non-profit crafts organization.
