The Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council is presenting their Summer Craft Market Downtown on Friday July 25 through Sunday July 27. The market is being held at the corner of Spring Garden Road and Queen Street.Friday, July 25 10 am ‐ 8 pm
Saturday, July 26 10 am ‐ 6 pm
Sunday, July 27 10 am ‐ 6 pm
As always, the quality of the show is high, even though it is much smaller than the Christmas Market, which could make this an easier show to shop.
We're hoping for a good weather weekend and that everyone has a grand time at the show.
See you there
Cynthia & David
and this just in from Julie at the NSDCC office:
The 31st Summer Craft Market will be held on the lawn and parking lot at the corner of Spring Garden and Queen, beside Dalhousie University. This is an incredible location, taking in the sites, sounds and smells of bustling Spring Garden Road, and just a stones throw from the Halifax Waterfront.
Collectors will have the opportunity to wrap themselves in clothing made from vintage fabrics, handyed silks or handwoven jackets. Find the perfect mug for early morning coffee, a handturned wooden bowl for an upcoming wedding gift or perhaps the upcoming nuptials are yours, several jewellers will be on hand, locally made gold bands would complete the day.
Craftspeople working in glass, visual art, wood, textiles, metal, clay make the NSDCC shows one of their premiere events each year.
Demonstrators will be on hand throughout the event to show their skills in handcoiling clay, stitching, basketry spinning, weaving and metalwork to name but a few. Please spread the word.
