EVENT Info
The Peterborough Guild of Arts & Crafts was formed in 1975 and will be celebrating its 47th show in 2024. The Guild was founded by a group of artisans who made items by hand, and that is how the name, 'The Hand of Man Art & Craft Sale' came to be.
As the popularity of the show grew, so did the artisans, making this the largest and longest-running yearly art & craft sale in Peterborough and the surrounding area.
Because of the wide variety of products offered for sale, the show is a must-see destination for people not only from the Peterborough area but for many out-of-town people.

Sara Scheuermann is the hands, heart, and soul behind the wheel at Steaped Slow Ceramics. Sara has been joyful playing in the mud all her life, but 20 years ago, she discovered her love for spinning it into beautiful vessels at an evening pottery class. Pottery remained a hobby for many years, and in 2018, after a year of soul searching, she began selling her work at artisan markets. Here, she discovered an established and growing movement of humans yearning for handmade, slow-made, well-crafted goods. A recent Toronto expat, Sara makes her work from her home in Peterborough.
The Guild's goal is to provide the public with a sale of quality, handcrafted items designed, created, and produced by the exhibitor. The Guild is a non-profit organization that donates to charities on a yearly basis. The charities chosen are geared toward people in need, and we have been giving to local charities since 1975.
