DESIGNER CRAFT SHOW SUMMER 2010
The 33rd NSDCC Designer Craft Show 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.
10-15,000 attendees peruse and purchase the work of the NSDCC's fine craftspeople each summer.
Collectors will have the opportunity to wrap themselves in handyed silks and 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.
A list of exhibitors will be posted as the event approaches. To see a directory from last years event including map, booth numbers and exhibitor bios, please follow this link
