City of Craft
Stuck for gift ideas this Christmas? Head to the annual City of Craft.

If you’re in the market for a hand-knitted scarf (or four), head to Toronto’s annual craft show at Queen and Dovercourt, City of Craft. This show stocks some of this city’s best-looking swag, and is home to 55 screenprinters, bookbinders, and makers of pretty things from Toronto and beyond. While you’re stopping by, why not say hello to these lovely local craft folk? Handmade prints and build-it-yourself paper toys by Alex Westgate. Alex is a graphic designer and illustrator who doubles as a student at OCAD. Screen-printed leather goods by Falconwright, a.k.a. Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright. Reclaimed vintage hand-detailed clothes and accessories by Craig and Ben, of Civic Trust. Handmade toys by Fidoodle. Possibly the cutest thing you’ll ever wish you had when you were a kid. Clocks and assorted wooden miscellany by Off Cut Studio, the home base of local furniture designer and cabinet maker, Cameron MacLean. Leather pendants and belts from Scouts Handmade. Alison of Scouts also specializes in funny vintage finds – so that enamel Beach Boys pin you’ve always wanted will be yours at last. City of Craft runs from December 10 & 11, 2011 The Theatre Centre (1087 Queen St. West) & Thrush Holmes Empire (1093 Queen St. West) Saturday: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Sunday 11:00 am – 5:00 pm $2 Admission
