Handmade House seeking new Artisans

The working members who run Handmade House on Broadway are always looking for new Saskatchewan-based artisans to consign work in the shop. We always set aside time at our monthly meetings to examine any small, representative samples of work either sent to us or dropped off at the shop. There'd be no question about the quality of work by those who have already been juried into the Saskatchewan Craft Council, but we have to decide whether it would fit with what we already sell, and whether we have space in our small shop to adequately display it. After the meeting, someone from the shop would contact the artisan by phone to discuss our decision.

We are open every day except Sundays and holidays from 10:00am to 5:30pm. Any working member who happens to be in the shop would be happy to talk to interested artisans in person at 710 Broadway Ave., Saskatoon, or by phone at 306.655.5542, or they could contact us by email. Samples of work can be left at the shop during business hours.
