Three Summer 2024 Events for SF Bay Area's Local Design & Craft Scene

Three Summer 2024 Events for SF Bay Area's Local Design & Craft Scene

Mark your calendars!

Though the June gloom of the Central Coast has been cloaking some hints of summer here in Watsonville and Santa Cruz, warmer temperatures signal the return of a few exciting design and craft events: West Coast Craft and SF Design Week. Each hosted in San Francisco, these events are always inspiring environments to showcase our design and product offerings and meet our regional community. They facilitate a vibrant atmosphere to connect with colleagues in the design industry, friendly new and returning customers from the wider Bay Area, and community members who love exploring home products, interior design inspiration, and high-quality craftsmanship!
