Giving Tuesday
Your gift is the vital spark needed to expand heritage craftsmanship across our community.
Your gifts enable more people to participate in our rare and distinctive Create @ heritage crafts workshops - which were sold out in 2025! More than just a chance to appreciate the skill of traditional craftsmanship, these one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunities deepen understanding of cultural heritage and explore contemporary applications of centuries-old tradition.
Together, we raised $1650 towards heritage crafts learning!
Thank you for supporting heritage craftsmanship education this Giving Tuesday 2025.
It’s not too late to make your contribution.
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Stellar Contracting, every Giving Tuesday donation was matched, doubling the impact of your gift and bringing us not one, but two steps closer to making these remarkable programs accessible to the entire community.
We raised $1650
to support traditional crafts learning at The Brown Homestead
“I just loved the whole format & presentation ... art in itself; even the window-sills in the Dining Room were so artistically staged! The camera close-up of Remy’s demo steps was very helpful. And of course, Remy is delightful, very talented & sweet! … Thanks for a great event!”

“I’m excited to use this knowledge in my classroom. My students already make ink from local materials, and I teach them a little calligraphy with their own ink ...
I would also like to investigate programs tied to the Junior Intermediate Ontario Curriculum.”
