The Renegade Craft Fair,which calls itself one of the nation’s largest DIY and handmade art events, has moved beyond its Chicago roots and will make its Los Angeles premiere this weekend. The free-admission show features work by more than 300 crafters, including Northern California ceramist Sara Paloma and local felt-sculpting furniture designer Tanya Aguiniga, who was featured in Home last November.

One booth I’ll be visiting: KG + AB, creator of the animal figurines and dessert-shaped stash boxes shown here. Made of porcelain and hand-crafted from vintage molds, they also sell for $30 and up on Etsy. The Renegade Craft Fair runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 11 and 12 in the penthouse of the California Market Center, 110 E. 9th St., L.A.
