Local Craft Show Makes Big This Year

The Made by Hand Show Spring 2013

Saturday April 20th is the 3rd Made by Hand Show at the Mississauga International Centre. This is a local event featuring artists and artisans from all over Ontario selling and demonstrating their one-of-a-kind arts or crafts.

Jacqueline Hunter the operator of the show, a new mom and an artisan herself, organized the first event in the spring of 2012.  150 vendors participated in that event and since then she has added a Fall show and this year hopes to add a Christmas showing.

This juried selected show is big this year highlighting over 190 vendors with a variety of items: 

  • art
  • baby products 
  • body products
  • baked goods
  • ceramic
  • jewelry
  • knitting
  • photography
  • woodworking
  • and much more…..

Under the sharp event planning skills of Jacqueline Hunter, there is no doubt that awareness with regards to the increasing numbers of vendors has grown but so has public awareness through multi media such as facebook and twitter and in local newspapers and local TV stations.  Customers can stroll from booth to booth, sample baked goods, get a demonstration on a skin care product or just Shop!!!!! There is a lot to choose and a lot to see.  There is even a face painting station so the kids are occupied and entertained.

Kudos to Ms.Hunter in a job will done. The show starts @ 11:00 and ends @5:00.  Tickets are available at the door and part of the proceeds goes to the charity Crafting for a cure.
