On Sunday afternoon, East Hills’ Brewery Vivant will open their Walloon room at the Pub to welcome several local artisans whose handcrafted items ranging from jewelry to pottery to soaps will be up for grabs at their debut of
Vivant Artisan Fair.
According to staff of Vivant, this artisan event harkens back to their very foundation as a B-Corp conducting business with an intentional look at sustainability and good value. This is something in the life blood of one of the area’s most interesting breweries.
“That human connection is embedded in everything we do here from brewers selecting hops and steeping (‘dry hopping’) them into beers to our chefs dicing mirepoix for a scratch-made risotto stock,” says the Abbess of Beer and Director of Sales & Marketing, Kate Avery.
The brewery’s commitment to people as makers has over the years, according to Avery, attracted quite a few makers through their doors. This event was suggested by the popular beer hall’s servers and bartenders at Vivant.
Focusing on artisans who embrace sustainability, and natural ingredients and processes, Vivant Artisan Fair welcomes Bare Bones Bohemia, Public Thread, Hides & Stitches, Parliament the Boutique, Fox Naturals, LAM Jewelry, Studio Heff, and Todd Freeman.
And while there are plenty of activities to consider, with Mother’s Day just around the corner, this is a stop to secure a handmade item that would be perfect for dear ol' mom.
