If you’ve never seen a Goth farmers market? This will be an amazing experience!

Haunted Farmers Market Sandwich Board promoting the show.

HFM on South Tacoma Way this Sunday March 23rdfrom 11AM – 4PM

The HFM is haunted themed, meaning the vendors sell spooky art, taxidermy, crystals, tarot card readings & more. You can also find farmers and food trucks, but even those are sometimes themed. We have 250 rotating vendors & we are open every other Sunday & October we are open every Sunday. 



Tacoma’s Haunted Farmers Market Brings Visitors to Tacoma

A Summary from South Sound Talk

Find everything from bats embroidered onto a tiny tree limb and actual taxidermized bats to fresh eggs and great coffee when spending time at Tacoma’s Haunted Farmers Market. Every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., guests are taunted with witchy vendors and spooky-themed food trucks to their (un-beating) heart’s content.

“The crowd is the best part. Tacoma and the surrounding area really show up for its art community. We’ve got a wonderfully eclectic and weird bunch of creative folks around here, and they’re truly the best group of people I could ask for,” shares Reed.

With people driving as long as five hours to frequent the supernatural farmers market, Reed speaks of the surrounding area as being huge. “We had one woman drive over three hours for her birthday, and her car broke down. They ended up taking an Uber from the mechanic all the way to the market. [They] had a blast,” recalls Aratin.

The Haunted Farmers Market has so much more in its cards. Because of the exponential success of the market in such a short time span, they are launching an expansion on July 6. The market will increase to 100 themed vendors instead of the 50 they began with, adding hours of fun on Saturday mornings.

I am part of a lovely new Valentines Day market this weekend at The Lodge.

A Valentine’s Market hosted by Catalyst Fine Art. Saturday And Sunday February, 8th & 9th from 10am – 5pm.

Join myself other artists and skilled crafts-persons for an exceptional market within the venerated halls of the St. Edwards Lodge in Kenmore WA. Discover a one-of-a-kind gifts from our diverse selection of over 25 local artisans at the market!

Whether you’re shopping with your “Galentines” for a special friend or browsing with the family for thoughtful presents, you’re sure to find a unique, locally-made item that truly expresses your love and appreciation.


Two pink winged Cherub Baby Head Cups staring at each other.

For Valentines Day this year I have created two new lines of themed glassware.

Let me first introduce to you to the limited edition Cherub Baby Head Cup. One part angel one part part Icarus, and one part cute as hell! I have been scheming on this one for a while now specifically as a counterpart to Lil’ Diavolo. I have yet to resolve a specific wing color for these little angles so currently I’m exploring opals and pink compositions on the initial runs.

Pile of glass heart paper weights.

The second is a contemporary take on the timeless tradition of the glass heart paperweight. I have made thousands of these things for other people in my career as a glass-worker. What makes my hearts stand apart is the silver foil decal emblazoned on the face of each heart. Just like the classic heart candies that have a cute saying on the face, my hearts feature an inspirational clip art image sourced from my off-color collection of silver decal cut outs.


Also join us during the market on Sunday for a special artist demonstration by Robert Bank Glass! Watch him create stunning glass art in real-time while learning about his process and inspiration.
