This Sunday October 24th, the Twist Gallery will be hosting the Toronto Artisan Market open from 11:00am to 5:00pm. The Toronto Artisan is a non-profit organization who provides a platform for local artists to sell and promote their works such as art pieces and handmade crafts! The organization strives to promote local sustainable products to support local artisans, as well as to practice diversity and inclusivity by incorporating various businesses.

We will have a plethora of vendors to showcase this Sunday! Here are some of the talented local artisans who will be at the market:
Lisa Maxwell Jewelry
Lisa Maxwell’s jewelry business utilizes the healing components of crystals which she styles into rings, bracelets, and necklaces. She started her business after making jewelry for her brother as a gift, and has been drawn to the energy of the crystals ever since.
Lisa’s favorite crystals to work with are the moonstone, labradorite, and pink opal.
Artglas
Artglas creates handmade glass jewelry products by using heat to manipulate the glass into an art form. The company consists of two artists, David and Sarah, who both came to this craft in different ways. David was inspired by his father who was a stained glass artist and decided to turn his hobby into something more. Sarah was interested in studying natural science through art, and uses this business to combine her favorite things.
An interesting aspect of Artglas is that handmade pieces will not be identical to the other, creating a unique original piece every time.
Mirror Doodles
Mirror Doodles’ Eden and Ava create unfiltered borderless art using different shapes, textures and colours. Mirror Doodles is a proudly Queer and BIPOC owned business; in fact, Eden and Ava contribute ten percent of their profits to supporting organizations in the area. Pieces can also be custom-made using your own mirror!
Mirror Doodles strives to make art more stress-free and fun
Over the Luna
Over the Luna is owned by Quennie and consists of handmade paper flower boxes. Initially, Over the Luna was simply a creative outlet for Quennie until the COVID-19 pandemic when she decided to pursue her dream full time. Very soon she was receiving inquiries from customers and her works gained popularity. Quennie named her business “Over the Luna” because she wanted people to be ‘over the moon’ when they received their flower gifts.
Soi BioLuxe
Originally from Quebec, Marie-Eve discovered the wonders of organic products and the dramatic impact it can have when she was in Australia. She quickly learned how to produce the ingredients and when she moved to Toronto she discovered a mass appreciation for organic goods. She inspires everyone to be their authentic selves and each product can be used toward different skin needs.
Andie & Co.
Andie & Co. is a candle business and was created by Alexandria Blanche in 2018. Andie & Co. strives to incorporate scent and memory in their products and always choose their ingredients with care. Whenever possible, Andie & Co. collaborates with other local Canadian businesses to get ingredients for their candles.
