Artisan Submission for Wholesale and/or Consignment

Dear Artisan,

We are so happy to see you here. Why is that you say? Well, our shop has this vision …

“Having a world immersed in the beauty, quality, and uniqueness of Fine Craft.”

Are we kindred spirits? Then this may be the place for you.

Our shop is a fine craft boutique, located in Stittsville, Ontario. We will happily and proudly showcase an eclectic and exciting collection of traditional and contemporary craft both in our brick and mortar boutique and in our online shop. Your craft should tell us that you are a professional who is committed to a path of creative, artistic and technical development. Your craft is unique within the genre you are working in.

Our boutique will feature both craft that is functional, and craft that is for display; however, we are leaning towards having more craft that is functional.


General Idea of What We are Looking For and At:

  • Made by your Hand
  • Original idea of the Artisan, or an unique and creative spin of a traditional or classic design
  • The object must be capable of serving the purpose for which it was designed with planned durability
  • Quality of craftspersonship
  • Uniqueness of product and packaging (if applicable)
  • Use of colour, texture and detail.
  • Ready-made parts or components are fine only if they are subordinate to the total design and craftspersonship of the object.
  • Price points
  • Relative to other work already in the shop
  • Marketability and salability to our shop’s demographic

** We kindly request no phone calls, direct messages or walk-ins.

  • Photography

  • Clothing that required a change room to try on (we don’t have one)
