The chance to get one of kind Christmas/Hanukkah/Arbor Day (maybe you know someone who loves Arbor Day?) gifts keep on coming. Starting Thursday, the Art Institute of Portland is having their 5th Annual Holiday Bazaar with handmade goodies by genius students, staff and faculty. We’re talking about everything from home décor to accessories, with a portion of the proceeds supporting the school’s scholarship fund. I am completely biased as an instructor at Ai, but I can definitely say these students get out of this world creative. Example: student designer Robert LaCosse will be selling cubic lamps he made from re-purposed plastic jugs. Bet you can’t find that at the mall!
