Every year the Halifax Crafters host one of the best craft shows in Nova Scotia!
The Halifax Crafters are a group of several dozen artists who enjoy making things by hand and who have a unique vision to share. Volunteers have been putting on seasonal handmade markets since 2005 as part of Halifax Crafters' mandate to encourage new artists and local artmaking. Shows are juried every time creating a unique place for established artists and university instructors to gather with emerging artists and students to show inspiring new projects. halifaxcrafters.blogspot.com With over 70 artists and artisans participating, the annual holiday showcase features a variety of unique and one of a kind products made right here in Nova Scotia! From linens to soap, clothing to pottery, prints to stuffed animals, jewellery to cupcakes - there really is something for everyone!
Myself and many of the artists here at Flying Cloud are all very proud to call ourselves members of this wonderful collective of crafty creators.
This season's show was truly the best to date!
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped to make this truly a spectacular event! Until the next show, here is a variety of products by some of the Flying Cloud Boutique artists who took part in this year's Halifax Crafters Society Yuletide Cheer Winter Market.
Enjoy!
