Pinners California Returns to Southern California at Pomona Fairplex on Aug. 23-24, 2024. The event features 300+ Artisans, Vendors and Presenters offering 100+ Specialty Classes & DIY Seminars. It’s a one stop for shopping crafting and creating, promising DIY enthusiasts and creatives and a weekend packed with hands-on workshops, innovative presentations and plentiful shopping opportunities.
From 10am- 8pm Friday, Aug. 23 and 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24 at the annual event brings together foodies, crafters, artists and creatives to feature more than 300 vendors sharing their wares and 100+ classes. Offering instruction and guidance on everything from jewelry-making and party-planning to knitting, crocheting and cake-decorating, Pinners is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to expand their skills and creativity in a lively, supportive setting.
“We’re thrilled to bring Pinners back to Southern California for another exciting year of creativity and community,” said Pinners CEO Roxanne Bennett. “A celebration of craftsmanship and innovation, Pinners promises an inspiring weekend where likeminded locals can come together to learn, create and connect.”
Many of the classes and workshops offered at Pinners aren’t easily found at craft stores, community colleges or boutiques, giving attendees a rare chance to develop specialized skills and techniques under the direct tutelage of professional artisans and instructors. Learn to craft Halloween-themed home décor or a festive Christmas tree tray during hands-on workshops, or master the art of calligraphy, brush lettering or macrame in a series of special classes and instructional seminars, among near-countless other opportunities.
“If you’ve ever admired the craftsmanship showcased on Pinterest and imagined bringing your own creative visions to life, here’s your chance to learn from the pros and transform your ideas into reality,” said Bennett. “Whether you come with a specific goal in mind or are seeking inspiration on the spot, Pinners guarantees a wealth of workshops and activities with something sure to appeal to everyone.”
Pinners California is possible thanks to support from generous sponsors including the Dixie Belle Paint Company, The Polished Jar, Makerflo Crafts, Ryobi, Minky Couture/The Heart of Minky Couture, Ninja Transfers and Magnolia Design Co.
