SAB to host craft fair on quad

The Student Activities Board is hosting its annual craft fair on Oct. 7.

Maker’s Market, which will be held on the quad from 10 a.m to 1 p.m., will feature art and baked goods by both Hillsdale locals and students.

“It is a unique opportunity to see a different side of campus and to support the very talented students of Hillsdale,” said junior John Schaefer, promotional lead for SAB.

Schaefer said a variety of items will be available. 

“There will be 26 tables selling a variety of foods and goods ranging from crochet pieces and jewelry to boba and bakery items,” he said.

Junior Lydia Saffian will be running a table for the first time. 

“I’ve been crocheting and whittling since my freshman year, and I’ve wanted to run a booth the past two years,” she said. 

Saffian said she also does wood burning and makes bookmarks from pressed flowers.

Now that she has enough inventory, Saffian will be selling both crocheted items and woodwork at her table. 

“On the crochet side of things, there are baby blankets, small baskets, succulents, garlands, Christmas ornaments, coasters, and a lot more,” she said. “On the wood side, I have some small carvings that I’ve made, and some wood burned signs and coasters.”

Saffian said she enjoys Maker’s Market as a creator. 

“It’s a fun opportunity to see what other people on campus are making and maybe find some inspiration,” she said. “And whether you make things yourself or not, it’s a great opportunity to find something cute and handmade and support other students by doing so.”

Schaefer encouraged students to attend. 

“It is such a fun way to spend a Saturday morning,” he said. “There is something for everyone.”
