Headwaters Arts is holding their Annual Artful Giving Show and Sale, a juried show of original handmade gift items, including artwork, such as jewellery, pottery, wood carvings, artisan soaps, ornaments, and much more!

Back by popular demand are the Alton Mill Artist Hand Painted Christmas Tree Ornaments.
Each ornament will be one-of-a-kind and will come in a variety of shapes and sizes costing $20 each. The proceeds from these sales will go to the Family Transition Place, a woman’s shelter in Orangeville.

Take your gift of clothing to the next level with Rare Threads’ unique makers market, which cultivates and supports textile and fibre arts in all forms, focused on Canadian, sustainability, and ethical designers and artisans. Offering one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art, fashion, accessories, and décor; Rare Threads is an exceptional holiday shopping experience, whether you are looking for yourself, or for another.

Give the gift of jewellery this holiday season. Gallery Gemma’s unique jewellery experience showcases artisanal and world class designer jewellery, as well as custom and restyled jewellery.


Shop for one-of-a-kind artwork and stocking stuffers in the warm, rustic Noodle Gallery. This Artisan Christmas Market will be showcasing unique, high-quality products such as candles, pottery, wood craft, leather goods, furniture, jewellery, artwork in a variety of mediums, and much more!
