Portland Saturday Market is celebrating its 41st year in the historic Old Town/ Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.  Our weekly market features 252 booths showcasing a variety of arts & crafts sold by local Pacific Northwest artisans. Established in 1976, our market has a thriving membership of over 300 artisans.  "Every Saturday and Sunday from March through Christmas Eve the Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood transforms into a thriving arts and crafts open-air marketplace. Seeing the Market's staff delegate booth spaces with precision each weekend for so many years, most of the neighborhood has come to think of Portland Saturday Market as a business like any other. But it certainly was not always that way, and some surprising elements still lie at the core of this unusual non-profit operation."

I love this! I love farmer's market, but this is more than just a farmer's market. It has many crafted art and different artists participated. It also create a lot of energy in downtown during Saturday morning. Kind of feel more like a big local gathering.

Shapeways has been around for a few years and has gained a lot of traction since 3D printing has gotten more common. It lets 3D artists upload their 3D model and sell it in a variety of materials to whoever wants it. It's sort of like Etsy of 3D printing, except the artist designs it and Shapeways processes the customer's payment, 3D prints it, and ships it. The artist gets some money and Shapeways probably gets more, but they have really high-caliber 3D printers so that's okay. They can also cast your model in metals, including gold and silver, which is something that can't be done yet with a home 3D printer.
