Need some holiday cheer, thoughtful gifts, and custom wrapping? Look no further! Join us at Heath SF’s second annual Make Good Market!

Illustoria will be hosting a *FREE* design-your-own gift wrap station with stamps, art supplies, and paper just waiting for your unique creative output. Shop locally made goods for yourself or holiday gifting, then come by our table to DIY giftwrap. We’ll also be selling the coolest creative mag for kids, of course!

The Make Good Market is a celebration of people, place, process, and product. Check out over 30 different designers and makers demonstrating their craft and offering up their gorgeous goods. Spend the day learning about vase throwing, wreath making, and more. Some of Illustoria’s fave local vendors include Dandelion Chocolate, Jacob May, Silvia Song, and Aesthetic Union.

Loyal supporters of our mag, East Bay Booksellers was one of the very first places to stock ILLUSTORIA. We love this shop for its brilliant book curation, super friendly staff and fireplace reading area so cozy we've often been tempted to camp out there and never return.
