The sawdust Winter Art Festival takes place over five weekends starting in November.
If you want that perfect, extraordinary holiday gift, check out the Laguna Beach Sawdust Art Festival Winter Fantasy. This annual event is not your typical gathering of local arts and crafts artisans. It is unique because each booth is hand-built and operated by the artist.
Set under a canopy of Eucalyptus trees, the paths around the festival are lined with wood chips and stone pavers, giving shoppers the experience of an old English village. Folk music and the smell of sawdust fill the air and are both refreshing and intoxicating.
As for the arts and crafts, talented artisans create, showcase, and sell their original artwork on the Sawdust grounds, transformed into a winter wonderland with thousands of holiday decorations and a “Towne Square” in the center of the festival.
The featured Winter Fantasy artists and craftspeople handcraft each artwork, creating a unique holiday shopping experience for visitors. Art media, including art glass, ceramics, jewelry, clothing, textiles, painting, photography, and mixed media, are all available for sale.
The Sawdust Art Festival Winter Fantasy is perfect for a relaxing afternoon or evening stroll with friends and family.
Special activities for families and kids include pottery wheel throwing in holiday-themed shapes at the Ceramic Center and many art and craft projects at the Sawdust Studio and Children’s Art Spot. Art classes appropriate for all ages offered on the festival grounds include
