Handmade in Berkeley: Create Your Own Hemp Piece
This vendor on Telegraph Avenue offers to create custom-made hemp jewelry, or teach passersby how to make their own.
Hemp has been grown for at least the last 12,000 years for fiber (textiles and paper) and food, according to the North American Industrial Hemp Council. The material is cheap and durable, and here in Berkeley, it makes for a creative fashion accessory too. Visit Telegraph Avenue to find the hemp vendors.
