The Hand-Made Village celebrates the long-standing history that arts and crafts share with folk music festivals.
Criteria and Selection
We are thrilled to feature artisans from across Canada whose work is truly handmade! As anyone who has attended the summer festival knows, we select artisans for the overall originality, aesthetics and quality of their work.
We are looking for a professionally presented application with some of your best photos or samples so that we can select a balanced group of artisans for the festival. Items must be created by the person applying. We encourage you to send samples as this is the best way to showcase your work. Digital images don’t show the quality and artisanship that goes into each piece!
