From ProvDailyDose: Monohasset Mills Holiday Sale — Saturday. Dec. 6
Monohasset Mill is Providence’s most active artist space with over 60 working artists living in 40 converted mill spaces. The Mill is home to photographers and fashion designers, ceramacists, jewelers and DJ’s, graphic designers, RISD profesors, art educators and more.

With residents that include the founders and owners of hyper-creative ventures such as The Steelyard, Woolly Fair, Queen of Hearts, and Firehouse13 this is an Open Studios not to be missed.

Even the folks who were living in the Mall, actually live at Monohasset.

The CREATure, a vast lighting installation in the courtyard of the Mill, will be lit at 4:30pm.
If you’re looking to collect some of Providence’s finest local art, head to Monohasset Mill on December 5th.

While not yet as well-known as Craftland or the Foundry sale, this is more of the village holiday shopping experience than any other as you walk around the studio/residences, meeting the artists themselves as you browse unique artwork at amazing prices.

For me, just Craftland is enough. I love this list. So many options. Wave magic wand, give me one week and $10,000 budget, please.

To hear you as well as so many others talking about buying handmade and local this season makes me so happy!

I know there’s some type of holiday bazaar at Kettle Pond this Sunday from 10-4. Does anyone know of other events outside of Providence?
