PORT ANGELES — This is the last week for the inaugural Holiday Makers’ Market, a showcase of local artists’ gifts at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Admission is free to the gallery, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, the final day.
In addition, the market will have extended hours on two nights this week. Thursday it will stay open until 7 p.m. during the luminaria-making workshop, open to the public with supplies provided for creating luminarias for $5 each. Then on Saturday, when the fine arts center celebrates the winter solstice with warm drinks and a free solstice crown-making party starting at 6 p.m., the marketplace will be open until 8 p.m.
The selection includes note cards, hand-dyed silk scarves and shawls, dolls, hand warmers, handmade journals, books of poetry and handcrafted wooden toys, with prices ranging from $5 to $100 and up.
