KARACHI: The Crafter’s Expo, an annual event organised by the Crafter’s Guild, with over 100 craft-based stalls, is back for a 10th celebratory show, to take place at Area 51 on Nov 13.

This year’s crafts would include gift items, décor, linens, apparel, fashion accessories, jewellery, children’s gifts, stationery, skincare, and more. Known to give a boost to creative businesses and startups, it has already done so for over 1,300 entrepreneurs and the work will continue for women-led businesses, young entrepreneurs of 16 years and under, artisans from Bhitshah and Qalat, differently-abled individuals, and so many more.

As the event scales up, it has added segments to offer such as story-telling sessions, craft demonstration techniques, cognitive play with Lego, etc. Plus, the Crafter’s Guild will also be gifting sewing machines to Hunarghar as a tribute to individuals from the local community who have passed away over the years.

Entry to the event is free, visitors only need to show the downloaded Kravemart App on their phones as part of a collaboration for the event.
