Saskatoon Mini Maker Faire

In May, Saskatoon will be hosting a Mini Maker Faire. The essence of the Maker Faire is to promote learning, building and making while having fun and is not a pop-up market. For this reason, there is no fee to participate in the Maker Faire as a Maker if you are not selling or promoting a product.  If you are a “commercial maker” and want to sell, booth fees start at $200 with a limited number of vendor spots available. Makers can apply online until Feb 29, 2018. For more information: saskatoonmakerfaire.com

Happy Making!

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!

Itty Bitty Crafts in the City

Have you ever imagined a handmade market where all the vendors are kids? We did and we can't wait to see what the next generation of makers is creating!

On Sunday, October 29th, we are hosting Itty Bitty Crafts in the City at 810 Broadway Avenue from 11am until 1:30pm. Over 30 crafters under the age of 16 will be selling their goods and you're sure to be impressed by their talent. Join us in showing some love for youth arts and crafts.

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!
