We're pleased as punch to have East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse on board for Patchwork Oakland! Crafty Oaklanders would be lost without the East Bay's premier artist and teacher resource for supplies, furniture, decor, and glorious vintage treasures that can't be found anywhere else.
Kollabora is a super-cool new craft supply marketplace with a built-in DIY community and about a million crafty projects to browse through! We're stoked to have them as a Patchwork sponsor, and get this: we will be giving away Kollabora coupons at all Patchwork shows! Come 'n get it!
Oakland-based but internationally beloved design blog Grain Edit features illustration and design from the 50's to 70's, as well as current artists drawing from that colorful time period. It's a beautiful place to visit on the internet, and we're happy to have them as a Patchwork sponsor!
Simply put: we love Marion & Rose's Workshop. Owner Kerri Johnson has been a huge help in bringing Patchwork to Oakland for the first time, and we're so thankful for the support! If you haven't visted Marion & Rose's yet, it's a lovely shop in Oakland's POPUPHOOD featuring a well-curated selection of local and national art and handmade products.
"Warm, comfortable, and friendly; Marion & Rose’s Workshop is a place where people gather – ideas are exchanged – and traditions are born." Yup! Stop by after Patchwork Oakland and see for yourself!

Oaklandish: it's the business Oakland loves to support! If you walk down any street in Oakland, it's almost guaranteed that you'll see an Oaklandish tee; they've been making sure the city is represented for over ten years now. They now have a retail store in downtown Oakland, bringing more civic pride to a very special city. From their website: "We hope the gear helps to spark some dialogue, as we all share in the strange luster and oddball spirit that is East Bay life." Yeah! We're honored to have them as a sponsor for Patchwork Oakland!
Modern Mouse is Alameda's one-stop shop for handmade goodness! Just voted Best Gift Shop by Alameda Magazine and still blushing from a feature in Sunset, Modern Mouse offers " a fun, stylish and creative collection of goods and gear for her, him and home."

And if you're looking for Patchwork artists' work after the event, Modern Mouse is the place to find it; they carry lots of our vendors' goodies!
