Excerpt from justinpluslauren.com/christmas-markets-in-ontario/:
St. Jacobs is one of the cutest small towns in Ontario, so it only makes sense that they offer a magical holiday market. St. Jacobs Sparkles takes place across two weekends in November. It’s an annual shopping event with twinkling lights throughout the village for a festive holiday experience.
You’ll be able to shop into the evening at many artisan shops in the village. Other festivities include historic walking tours, a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, wine tasting events, a Gluhwein Gathering (mulled wine), Christmas caroler performances, visits by Santa, and so much more.
A Legacy of Pottery Artistry: The art of pottery in Fes dates back to medieval times, with the city's artisans perfecting the craft through generations. Passed down from master to apprentice, the techniques and knowledge have been preserved, allowing the tradition to flourish to this day. Fes pottery is deeply rooted in Moroccan culture, reflecting the influence of Berber, Arab, and Andalusian artistic traditions, bringing the clay to life.
I loved how removed from the world the artists appear to be; their intense focus only on their art.
A large pot from an artisan in New Mexico. In our little town we have a quaint garden nursey. One day my wife was perusing the flowers when an old man in his truck drove in from New Mexico. He had a truck load of beautiful pottery. Apparently, he and his wife have a pottery studio. He loads up and makes the rounds to local garden centers. Not the big box stores, just small mom and pop places. He makes a killing, and his prices are very affordable. the garden center gets a cut, and we get a real deal, we now have 3 of them. Gotta love small mountain towns!

The Readyville Mill is a photographer's dream. This wonderful old United American Metals box is a work of art in itself; add to that the well-worn beauty of hardwood floor, made even more beautiful with the dust from generations of Mill work and dust.
Artisans Angkor has developed from the ambitious belief that it is possible to revive ancient Khmer Arts & Crafts while improving the lives of thousands of people living in rural areas.
This colourful building is the home of Kleewyck Stained Glass - an artisan studio crafting beautiful stained and artistic glass creations for their business and private clients across North America. The studio - painted to simulate a stained glass mosaic is a wonderful indication of their creativity.
I think there's a certain irony in this ... the building looks like stained glass while the windows are plain. :)
