BY HAND Summer Canada's Artisan Gift Show

About

By Hand Gift Show is Canada's wholesale marketplace for Canadian-made goods, run by Signatures (a family-owned producer of artisan marketplaces since 1980) and forming part of Toronto Market Week at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. It is one of five zones in the market, alongside Gift & Home, The Play Zone, MODE and SHOW T.O. Showrooms.

The show runs twice a year, in January and August, bringing together more than 100 juried Canadian artisan vendors across 250,000 square feet of exhibition space. Vendors must be the designer and maker of their products, with production under their direct supervision in Canada; the show is juried on design quality, originality, craftsmanship, booth display and product balance.
