Made in Camp Returns for a 7th Year

Camp Washington's Neighborhood Celebration!

Cincinnati, OH (Camp Washington) -

This upcoming 2nd Saturday of October the artists, makers, and businesses will open their doors for the annual neighborhood celebration Made in Camp.  Now in its 7th year, Made in Camp will occur on Saturday, October 14th from 12p – 4p and is sponsored by the American Sign Museum, Camp Washington Urban Revitalization Corporation (CWURC), and Wave Pool.  The event showcases the neighborhood's unique character where the arts meet industry.  Artists and makers from a wide range of mediums and businesses give visitors to the neighborhood a chance to learn more about and even try out artistic and technical skills including chalk pastel demonstrations, soldering and sewing classes, neon sign demonstrations, a fermenting workshop, and more.

This year, Made in Camp is also taking part in the SHOW OF HANDS Puppet Festival led by Visionaries + Voices that began on September 1st and runs through October 14th.  The performance Tomte by Tom Lee is the story of a Swedish gnome who takes care of a family and their farm, though they never see him, will take place at 11a at the Well (2868 Colerain Avenue, 45225) and will be followed by a puppet making workshop let by Lee himself at 12p.  The puppets will then take over the streets of the neighborhood during the SHOW OF HANDS Puppet Parade that departs from Wave Pool (2940 Colerain Avenue_ at 2pm for a half mile walk.  The festival will conclude with a Puppet Slam at the Well at 3p.
