Doing something fun with the family this holiday weekend?

November 24, 2023 No Comments

We have you covered! Come to Night Market at Freight House Square !

As soon as I wrap up the holidays with my family I’m heading down to Night Market to meet yours!

Got some new goodies for you this weekend! New ornament designs to bring your decorating to the next level. First is the Diavolo Rosso a charming little sprite of an orb to join the others on your holiday tree. The Second is a fun little number inspired by the classic Crimson Ghost films but most notably known as the signature image of the punk band Misfits.

As always I will have a great selection of tumblers, vessels and Baby Head Cups.

Show some love for the Goodies and Baddies! This weekend at the Punk Rock Flea Market in Tacoma!

May 26, 2023 No Comments

Saturday May 27th Sunday May 28th 11am – 7pm.

ALMA, 1322 Fawcett Ave. Tacoma

PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET returns to the aromatic environs of Tacoma, at Alma Mater 1322 Fawcett Ave, with our special healing blend of bargains, beats and booze! Hundreds of vendors from across the region will sell their finest wares, DJ’s will fill the air with their sweet noise, we’ll have alcoholic drinks for the grownups, fattening treats for the kids, savory food for pretty much everyone and the kind of open and welcoming atmosphere that makes you wish we could scrap consumer society altogether and just start over!

The PRFM remains an ALL AGES event. Bring the kids, bring your parents, bring the whole damn crew. And we are PROUD to say that since 2006 it costs just ONE DOLLAR to take a deep dive into the bowels of punk rock ephemera while supporting local independent business.

As always, the PRFM supports our friends the Low Income Housing Institute, aka. LIHI, with a donation from our proceeds. LIHI is a non-profit organization that provides homes for homeless and low-income people all around the Puget Sound, and is currently leading the effort to build tiny self –contained houses for homeless people and families around our region. More info about them at www.lihi.org.

Tacoma Night Market! This Weekeend at The New Freighthouse Square!

March 24, 2023 No Comments

Your Favorite Vendors!

The Best in local crafts and goodies!

We are at it again with our new venue by the Tacoma Dome at Freighthouse Square! Unquestionably an authentic Tacoma experience! In addition to my usual wares I am showcasing some updated favorites. In particular I have a new run of my Fossil sculptures. Together with GlassSkull whose unique silver and enamel combo look better than ever. The new location is without a doubt one of the best so far. Also in my years participating in the Tacoma Night Market I feel like the vibe here is just right. See you this weekend!
