Hand-Made Village

Each year, we host about 50 artisans from Manitoba and across Canada, who sell their creations in our Hand-Made Village. Clothing, ceramics, jewelry and woodworking are just a few of the types of work represented in the village.

The Hand-Made Village celebrates the long-standing history that folk art and crafts shares with folk music festivals. Come and discover original works, each as unique as the artisans who create them. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind treasure! Here are the artisans and crafters you’ll find in the Hand-Made Village at the 2013 Festival.
