FabMo Artisans Market
Mark your calendars! The FabMo Artisans Market will return to the Los Altos Community Center on Sunday, October 5, 2025 from 11 to 4 pm. Every item for sale will be a unique, handcrafted example of creative reuse, and include a minimum of 30% FabMo-sourced materials. We look forward to showcasing the limitless potential of those 70 tons of materials we keep out of the landfill each year.
We are also pleased to announce that we are bringing back the ever-popular Mystery Grab Bags at this year's market! Each grab bag will contain a small handmade item made by members of the FabMo community out of FabMo-sourced materials and will be sold for $5 each. All proceeds will go directly to FabMo, in support of its mission to save materials from the landfill for creative reuse. Be sure to stop by the FabMo booth while supplies last and treat yourself!

Interested in contributing your handmade items for FabMo’s Mystery Grab Bags?
Donation Guidelines
We will gratefully accept small handmade finished items made from FabMo-sourced materials (e.g., fabric, leather, wallpaper, yarn, tile).
Each handmade item must fit within a 4"x4"x6" box or plastic sandwich bag or equivalent sized container.
There is no limit to the number of donations per maker, but please avoid including more than two exact copies of the same item (i.e., same color, same pattern), as the grab bags will be curated to offer a varied range of handmade goods.
Makers can be anonymous or you can include a tag with maker info for the purchaser of your handcrafted item.
Please note that once received, all donated items will be considered the property of FabMo. FabMo will be unable to return the items to the maker even if they are unsold by the end of this year’s Artisans Market, as maker information will not be tracked.
Drop off Hours: Curbside pick-up hours (Tuesdays from 8 to 11 am and Fridays from 2 to 6 pm), plus regular In-Person Shopping Days
Drop off Locations: Small bin under the front desk at FabMo (labeled "ARTISANS MARKET MYSTERY GRAB BAG DONATIONS”). FabMo Volunteers may also store donations on the storage rack to the right of the stairs in the warehouse ("ARTISANS MARKET MYSTERY GRAB BAG DONATIONS”).
We will accept donations of handmade items until September 17th, after which, the items will be processed and packaged by FabMo volunteers. If you have any questions, please contact artisansmarket@fabmo.org. Thank you!
