Message from the captain It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of the year already, time has flown by over the past 365 days and to say that 2017 was a good year, is an understatement.

We have you to thank for York Maker’s success over the past year and believe our transition from Etsy York Region to York Maker’s Association has been a good one!

Our 2nd Annual Holiday Market is packed with handcrafted greatness and showcases gift items from jewellery to body care to clothing and accessories to housewares and even food! This market has turned into our biggest yet and we are excited to keep bringing you the very best that York Region has to offer.

2017 saw us lose some core team members but also allowed us to welcome some new faces and strengthen the team we currently have.

Nadia – Your unwavering support for York Makers and it’s members is much appreciated, I know you spend so much time with us, you barely have your own time ;) Karen – The creativity you bring to this team is amazing, I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings!

Winter – Your never-ending tenacity and continuous drive to try and help us grow is awe inspiring, I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Meghan – You slick photo skills have shown us all in the best light possible and I’m super thrilled to have you on board!

Thank you to all of our members for believing in our group and helping us get off the ground!

2018 is going to be a busy one as we launch our educational workshop series in partnership with NewMakeIt, and look to increase our Member awareness through media and markets.

Hopefully you’ll continue to join us on our journey and continue to support the local handcrafted movement as much as we do!

Cheers to a prosperous 2018

York Region Handcrafted Makers is a volunteer run Association with a mandate to support makers and grow the creative maker movement in York Region. Through online and offline events and education we are creating opportunities for creative growth in all nine municipalities across the region.

After forming Etsy York Region in 2016 and attending the Etsy Team Captain Summit two years running, a team of six makers were inspired to create a new model for regional cooperation with the aim to bring together creative makers, organizations, and industry leaders.

Ariane has been the lead organizer and director since the launch of EYR in 2016. In the time that the team has grown, we’ve created an online portal to connect makers with shoppers and local resources; helped support and host events across our region including successful Etsy: Made in Canada markets; and are now looking for more partners to help bring further opportunities to the regional makers.
