Portland's long-running indie craft market takes over Hall D of the Oregon Convention Center with more than 250 artists, crafters and designers. This is where the city's printmakers, ceramicists, jewelers and small-batch makers show up in force, and it's the best single room in town for gifts with a name behind them. Entry is timed, so book a slot ahead. For first crack at the booths, the ticketed First Pick Party runs Friday, December 11, from 5 to 9 p.m.
