I there, I am interested in selling my product at the market.
I am a local craftsman making primarly pen, razor handle and shaving brushes on my lathe at home.
I have also started to make my own tools: Mallets, hammers, screw drivers and hand planes from both local and imported woods. I think that I would bring some new excitement to the market! Please contact me at the above email.

Hi Jon,
I’ve forwarded your query on to the market coordinator, Thea. You can find her contact information here, but I expect she’ll be in touch soon. http://bastionsquare.ca/info-for-vendors/.
