January's LGBTQIA+ vendor market at MoCo Pride Center on Saturday, 1/24 is our celebration of New Beginnings! Returning to How Bazaar! is another beloved regular, A. Gato Designs (.gatodesigns). Run by Paulina "Lina" A. Gato, this small independent fashion label based in the DC Metro area takes inspiration from Japanese street fashion trends and other alternative fashions. All one-of-a-kind designs are produced with mindfulness for slow fashion, inclusivity, and self-expression; most are produced in-house to maximize the use of materials and reduce waste. Collections like Oversized Brooches make use of upcycled fabric flowers and base materials from other projects, and the Solo Basura line is completely made of scrap materials from production. Come tour Lina's clothing racks and learn more about sustainability by registering to attend this month's market! https://www.mocopridefamily.org/how-bazaar -register

January's LGBTQIA+ vendor market at MoCo Pride Center on Saturday, 1/24 is our celebration of New Beginnings! Helping us ring in the new year is How Bazaar! regular Rouge Elf Workshop (). Kettral is a self-proclaimed weird kid and friend to both ferals and qu**rs, hand-making "goblincore" ceramics, ephemera, and home decor in Maryland. Their one-of-a-kind trinket trays, fridge magnets, wall-hangings, and adult products are quirky and daring, inspiring some wicked awe in market regulars. Kettral also runs a free kiln firing service weekly at a private studio in Silver Spring for our local community of potters! Meet Kettral and learn more about their work by registering to attend this month's vendor market: https://www.mocopridefamily.org/how-bazaar -register
