Tezukuri-ichi Holiday Market
The things people make alone in a garage have a particular quality you can spot across a room. Slightly wrong on purpose. A glaze that did not behave. Somebody spent six weekends on three hundred of these and will tell you about the failures if you stand still long enough, which is the actual reason to go rather than the buying.
A craft market inside a Japanese garden in the middle of Balboa Park is a strange and good piece of planning, because the setting does half the work. Tezukuri-ichi means handmade market, and it sits in the Inamori Pavilion, so you wander through koi and maples to reach the tables. Ten until four, which means the light goes amber across the last hour and most people stop shopping and just sit.
Entry rides on the garden ticket, $16 for adults. Balboa Park runs a quiet circuit of makers' markets between its institutions every winter, and the crafters move around it together.
