Call for Vendors: Handmade Hamilton Online 2021

Handmade Hamilton had humble beginnings in 2012 at James North Studio, an Artist Collective just past Barton Street. Artistic Director and Multidisciplinary Artist Lisa Pijuan-Nomura had just moved to Hamilton and missed her show Movies and Makers at the Fox Theatre, so she decided to create a similar show in Hamilton.  In 2014, Handmade Hamilton moved to The Staircase Theatre and entered a wonderful partnership with Collette Kendall.  It was a popular show that featured 32 artisans selling textile art, clay, jewellry, fine art, paper crafts, and more. With each year that passed we had more visitors with our largest audience of 1400+ attendees over 2 days. In 2020, after Covid 19 hit we pivoted online to host a small online boutique show that featured 14 different artisans.  This year we are happy to announce that we are inviting 20 artisans to join us for our 9th Handmade Hamilton Online Show and Sale.  

We are currently looking for vendors to be a part of this excellent show.
