 Handcrafted basket by Peers Caning
30 Craft Market is a handmade/hand-altered goods fair that also allows small press/self-published literature, prints of one's original artwork, and photography in Peterborough, Ontario.
The show offers the creations of local artisans, crafters, artists, photographers, and authors for purchase. Our primary purposes are to provide artisans and crafters with a low-cost opportunity to gain direct exposure to the community, connect with the community, and/or sell their creations. We also strive to give residents an opportunity to support their local arts community. All items are handmade, hand-altered, or self-authored. We also provide free buying/selling/swapping forums as well as craft vendor support on Facebook: Critique My Crafts Craft Show Performance Support Peterborough buy, swap, and sell crafts Buy and Sell Art Peterborough Buy, Swap, and Sell Crafts - Canada Ontario Craft Shows Vendor Calls buyhandmade.ca Craft & Art Shows (Peterborough) What's not allowed at 30 Craft Market and Artisan Dreams: Products via Direct Sellers such as Scentsy, Tupperware, Steeped Tea, Jamberry Nails, Avon, Younique, Regal, Close to My Heart, South Hill, Simply Charming, 4 Seasons, etc. as well as handcrafted items via resellers. Initially, Cher Edwards hosted handcrafted gift shows in 2009 in Toronto as Under 30 Craft Market. The show moved to Peterborough in May, 2012 as 30 Craft Market (named "30" because items were to be $30 or less). Jurying was implemented as of May, 2013 for 30 Craft Market. Artisan Dreams' first show was on June 27, 2015 at Silver Bean Café in Peterborough's Millennium Park. Its last show was on Dec 12, 2015 in Peterborough. As of July 8, 2015, 30 Craft Market expanded to welcome authors' work as well (small presses, self-publishing). Rubidge Retirement Residence and May Toronto Café sponsored us in 2015! |
