The 21st Annual Connoisseurs’ Marketplace transformed Santa Cruz Avenue in downtown Menlo Park, California into a sea of booths showcasing handcrafted fine art, functional art, wearable art, sculptures and mixed media. In this episode you'll learn how a piece of laminated stone gets "turned" into a work of art.  You'll discover how a woman's pets inspire her art; find out the stories behind African inspired prints; enjoy music by musicians who are great friends, and see how the magic of Harry Potter affected an independent book store.
