The Capitol Hill Holiday Market is a wonderful example of the community found here at our little school in SW Portland. Among local professional vendors are three CH educators who enjoy being crafty in a variety of ways.

Rebecca Johnson, first grade teacher at Capitol Hill, is a long-time crafter and has worked in many mediums, but has found her niche creating beautiful terrariums in upcycled glass containers. She will also be offering a "make and take" area for personal gift making of air plants in glass.

Pam Wilson, Principal at Capitol Hill, has discovered a passion for creating utilitarian works of art using a variety of ceramic, glass, wooden, and other collected objects.

Jessica Doehne, CH first grade teacher by day and SewPortland crafter by night, enjoys sewing functional pieces of art work including (but not limited to) funky scarves, tote bags, and reversible headbands (pictured above).

All three of these vendors are thrilled that they can do what they love and earn money for the school. Each vendor at the Holiday Market donates 25% of their earnings directly to Capitol Hill, making this popular event a very important school fundraiser. We hope to see CH families and community members on Friday, December 6th, and Saturday, December 7th.
