The current economic downturn may put a damper on spending, but intrepid shoppers can find affordable art at this weekend's American Craft Council show at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Massachusetts metalsmiths Sandra Bonazoli and Jim Dowd didn't have to recalibrate their business to lure customers feeling a pinch. Most of the pewter measuring spoons, scoops, key chains and ornaments the couple create for Beehive Kitchenware already sell for less than $50.
