LA GRANDE — Those looking for some handmade charm when checking off gifts from their holiday shopping list are in luck. Art Center East’s 18th annual Handmade Holidays Makers Market returns Nov. 20-21 at 1006 Penn Ave. in La Grande. The weekend market features a wide range of goods and artwork created by local and regional artisans. “ With this market, everything has to be handmade,” Gallery Director Jennifer Durr said. “ There’s no resale. There’s no MLM. There’s no selling other people’s handmade products. It’s the makers selling their own handmade goods.” This year’s market showcases 24 artists and artisans, according to Durr, offering a huge selection of gifts. Items include leather, woodworking, artisan foods, fiber arts, ceramics, glass, clothing, jewelry, blacksmithing, home decor, bath and body products, art prints, paintings, cards and much more.
