Spring 2025,
Some changes have been made - including images of other projects to greet guests, and my Canadian pride more visible. I have eliminated the store on the site - please be patient for announcements where you may purchase my creations. The first place the announcements will be is on our Facebook page. We are working to create a presence on Instagram - we will ask you to follow, but again I ask for your patience.
As promised the updated Studio Day schedule up until October 2025 is listed below.

February 2025 -
Once again political instability rears up, and threatening Canada. As a Canadian company, this is why I have started to post my suppliers / supply chain and boost domestic content, in my creations where able.
Excuse me while I preach to both the converted & new visitors . . . By buying local, buying Canadian products and keeping Canadians employed (We show we are open for business and NOT FOR SALE , and will back our fellow Canadians.)
​​
Remember that when you buy local you make your dollars work locally. You share the pleasure of that perfect item for both you and the local business you bought from. Your support keeps them in business - purchases or your word of mouth. When local artisans thrive it opens the door for future artisans and people needing options to earn a living. Local artisans with local support is a powerful combination - the Ontario Arts and Culture sector is worth 27 billion dollars (3.4% Ontario GDP, employing over 250,000)- your support brings those dollars to your locale.
