NUTZO! Saturday 11:00am-6:00pm Is it an installation or a rip-roaring wild midway game? The truth is that this beautifully constructed ball game of chance lies somewhere in between. Not only is it lovely, but it is also your gateway to a veritable panopoly of handmade prizes. Two tries for $5, and it's fun just to play!

Pencil Skirts and Crayon Pants Saturday 11:00am-6:00pm The moments that define us, more often than not, take place while we’re wearing clothes. Sometimes we look back at our milestone outfits and wonder if we would have been more fashionable naked. WORN invites you to reminisce about the fashion triumphs and style-tastophes of days gone by. This year, at City of Craft, we’ll provide the paper and drawing supplies necessary for you to transform your sartorial history into Art. You just have to show up wearing clothes. WORN Fashion Journal discusses the cultures, subcultures, histories, and personal stories of fashion. We put out a print publication twice a year, as well as events, lectures and craft nights around Toronto and Montreal. WORN likes how you wear your clothes, you’ve been doing it for a long time now, you’re pretty good at it.

Photo Booth Saturday 11:00am-6:00pm Join stylist/crafter, Samantha Dubeau and Photographer Scarlett O'Neill for two full days of free photobooth action, complete with handmade props from Have & Hold Design. Digital photos will be available after the show for online download and the booth will be styled by hand for maximum joy! Samantha graduated from the York/Sheridan Joint Program in Design, and currently lives in Toronto working as a freelance stationery designer and crafter. A year after graduating, she created Have & Hold Design, which focuses on the custom design of print material for weddings and other special events. She is inspired by anything with texture and gets a thrill out of mixing unexpected materials and techniques in her work. Her work has been featured on many popular design and craft blogs such as DesignWorkLife, Creature Comforts, Ohdeedoh and Lotti Loves, as well as published in Verso Magazine.

Roses and Delphiniums Saturday 11:00am-6:00pm To be honest, even we do not know exactly what this piece is going to be. City of Craft has given local textile artist, Grant Heaps, the opportunity to make whatever he wants and display it over the weekend. All we know is that this piece is large, is made of fabric and will be hanging over the risers. It will also doubtlessly embodi Grant's inimitable and singula style. |

Wonderlandish Saturday 11:00am-6:00pm An micro environment of glass, metal, light and sound. "The inspiration for this work comes from the realization of the senseless destruction of our living environment. While the inhabitants of planet Earth seem to be moving on a path of no return in this regard, we want to create a space for thoughtful contemplation of a place or moment that will hopefully serve as something other than mere nostalgia." Wonderlandish sneak peeks & experimentations are blogged daily at www.nanopod.me
