The Maker's Hand: 21st Edition

The Maker’s Hand is a prestigious fine craft show featuring both established and up-and-coming artists from across Ontario & Quebec. Since 2004, the show has attracted more than 50,000 visitors from Toronto to Ottawa and beyond!

In 2025, this County Arts signature event will be presented at the County Arts Lab, located in the historic Armoury Building at the heart of Picton’s vibrant Main Street. The show will feature 25 booths inside the County Arts Lab and in the adjoining Armoury Atrium. Another exciting addition is the introduction of extended evening hours on Friday November 7th from 1-8PM, with a special “Sip & Shop” event beginning at 5:00 PM - attendees will receive a complimentary glass of wine or a non-alcoholic beverage (while supplies last) and up to 20% off from participating exhibitors.

Plan to shop late then take in a film at The Regent, dine out at a Picton restaurant, or head over to the Crystal Palace for the Firelight Lantern Festival. The $5 public entry fee gives visitors access all weekend long!

A note on accessibility: The Armoury’s Main Street entrance is wheelchair accessible, and accessible parking is located in front of the building on Main Street. There are accessible washrooms located just outside the County Arts Lab, plus wide aisles for ease of movement.

Our All are Welcome hour takes place on Sunday November 9th from 10-11 AM, a designated time to ensure that people with sensory, mobility, and other disability-related needs can more readily engage with the arts. The lights and music are lowered, and exhibitors are prepared to engage with visitors of all abilities. The show will be open to the general public at this time, but it is a traditionally quieter time to visit.
