Battling the hot greed of Black Friday that evaporates into the cold comfort of the following day, the SoCal Etsy Guild and the L.A. Girl join forces to find some warmth in the human touch of Small Business Weekend. The Guild, which started as a clearinghouse for the homey and the handmade, now encompasses a crack team of local artisans. Things to make and do: workshops, small business seminars, food trucks, kids’ activities, live creation of art and music and the “Make Your Own Bloody Mary Bar.”

Fri., Nov. 28, 1:30-9:30 p.m.; Sat., Nov. 29, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 30, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., 2014
(Expired: 11/30/14)
