Detroit Urban Craft Fair Artist Preview

Handmade Detroit has selected a really diverse group of vendors for this year’s Detroit Urban Craft Fair at the Majestic Theater. And judging from their previews on Twitter, even the five HD girls themselves have some brand new products. So if you think you already know what DUCF is like, you might be surprised at what you find there this year.

This event always features really talented artists, and this year is no exception. Here are a few designers, painters, illustrators and printmakers that will be there on Saturday. They’re all really nice, so say hi to them if you see them. 10am – 7pm makes for a long day!

An Einfach Deck would make a great wall hanging. Just use a couple of wall mounted plate stands to display it. From left: XXX, Rain Sucks, Tape Deck, and Kwame: Pimp Mayor of D-Town.
