Winter Wonders Wrap-Up

F&G crew member, Dean of Station Studios, blew us away again with this year's Winter Wonders poster design. It set the tone for the market's theme and décor.


Other F&G crew member, Maki of Maki Fotos, captured the magic of the market.

































































Winter Wonders 2017 brought in over 2000 shoppers. We attribute the success of this market to the quality of workmanship that our vendors bring, the volunteers who organize and help us run the event, and all the lovely people who continue to support our handmade community. THANK YOU!

Our next scheduled market is Winter Wonders 2018 in December. We will put the call out for vendors in August or September so stay tuned. Happy handmade holidays!

Call for Vendors - Winter Wonders Handmade Market



flock and gather craft collective is currently accepting applications for the Winter Wonders Handmade Market 2017.  

When and where is the market?
St. Joseph's Parish Hall, 1006 Broadway Ave., Saskatoon SK
Friday December 1 (4:30pm – 9:30pm) and Saturday December 2 (10:00am – 5:00pm)

Jury Process
The markets are juried to help ensure that there is a good mix of products and vendors, both new and returning, local and regional. We aim to keep each show unique and fresh. Each application is reviewed for craftsmanship, creativity, originality, type of craft, and product fit. For a detailed description of the jurying process please see the FAQ’s on the blog. Please note that all work must be original and handmade by the artist – kits, importers, or resellers are not acceptable.
How much will it cost me and what do I get?
8' table (8' wide by approximately 4' deep space) - $125
6' table with room for a rack (8' wide by approximately 4' deep space) - $125
4' table (4' wide by approximately 4' deep space) - $75
Kitchen space on Friday - $125
Kitchen space on Saturday - $150
Space for beverage cart (8’ wide by approximately 4’ deep space), cart to be provided by vendor - $125

The maximum height for display features (either on your table or standing) is 7’ if you are located along the outer walls, otherwise the maximum height is 5’6”. Use of the walls behind your space is not permitted. Table and chairs are provided. If you have display items that need special consideration for placement in the hall (for example: a display rack that stands behind your table), you must advise us well in advance of the show. There is no access to wifi or electricity at the tables. The hall has an abundance of windows and natural light. Lighting is not an issue in the hall. We encourage everyone who applies to consider how much space that they will need. If you can rearrange your display or  make due with less space please think about applying for a smaller table. We turn away so many amazing vendors every show. We want to ensure we get as many of you in as possible!
How can I apply to be a Vendor?
Step 1: Follow the link to the online application form, fill out the form, and hit submit.
Step 2: Email 4-6 photos of your work to helloflockandgather@gmail.com. For this email use the subject line Winter Wonders - Your Business Name.  Please send images as reasonable sized JPEG files and please name your photos “Business Name 1”, “Business Name 2”, etc. ***You must send photos for your application to be considered complete. You will receive a confirmation email once your application form AND photos have been received.***

When is the application deadline?
The application deadline is September 19, although we encourage you to apply early.
When can I expect to find out about my application?
All applications will be reviewed and applicants will be notified of their status via email by October 2.

What happens if I am unable to attend?
If for some reason you are unable to attend please notify us as soon as possible. Cancellations prior to November 1 will receive a full refund. After this date, table fees will only be refunded at the discretion of the flock and gather.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
