We were pleased as punch to welcome two new artists in April.

Nancy Trottier, calligrapher & print artist. Congratulations, Nancy, on receiving your permanent resident status in Canada, and welcome to the Co-op!! Nancy is has caligraphy workshops coming up. for more info click here.

We also welcome leatherwork artist, Martin Packer. We hope that you will drop by the store to see the new work.

This is a special year for us as we celebrate twenty-five years in business. This is an accomplishment we are proud of as most co-ops don't survive their first decade. Peek at our archives for a look at our history and watch for events throughout the year as we celebrate.

Grandmothers' Necklace is available at the Valley Artisans' Co-op. All profits go to Grandmothers to Grandmothers of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, to assist the grandmothers of Africa, aged anywhere from their 40’s to their 80’s who have lost their adult children and are raising their grandchildren, alone, under unbelievably impoverished circumstances. We also carry postcards featuring local Deep River scenes to benefit "The Grannies".
