Thank You to our Winter 2022 Sponsors!
We are beyond excited to be hosting our Winter Market next week at the Lighthouse Arts Centre! Come and join us on December 2nd, 3rd & 4th at 1800 Argyle Street for our first Winter Market in this location, in the heart of our beautiful city.
Now it’s time for the BIG Thank Yous for this season. We simply could not run this organization and put on our incredible shows without the amazing support of our sponsors. Please join us in a round of virtual applause for the five businesses who helped us put on this show in Winter 2022:
Presenting Sponsor: Tucker’s Pottery Supplies Inc.
As you may have read, Tucker’s is based in Richmond Hill Ontario, supplying makers all over the world with the highest quality and best selection of ceramic materials and tools. They have been sponsoring us since 2017 and we are so grateful for our partnership with Frank Tucker and his team. Be sure to check them out for all things ceramics at www.tuckerspotteryeshop.com. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a pro, Tucker’s has you covered.
Community Sponsor: Made in the Maritimes Artisan Boutique
Made in the Maritimes have been sponsoring our organization since 2015, the same year they opened! Owners Joel Kelly and Mark Smith set out to feature a beautifully curated collection of the Maritimes finest handmade items and they have supported so many of our very own crafters over the years. Each store has a unique vibe and both are well worth the visit! Visit them at their Hydrostone, or Bayer’s Lake locations to see their stunning assortment of local and Canadian made goods. They have something for everyone and you can feel extra good knowing you are supporting our local economy, and many of your favorite Halifax Crafters too. Visit them in person or online at www.madeinthemaritimes.com.
