Yasemin Filer. I’ve been sewing baby clothes and accessories for adults for about 12 years and all the skills I have learned are self taught. I place a very high value on the quality of fabrics and materials that I use to create my products. They are predominantly organic cotton and/or fabrics which carry the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified. The selection of colouring and patterns of the fabrics is a critical step in my process of creation. This is an aspect that I enjoy and take pride in sourcing unique patterns and colours that compliment the products I create. All fabrics are sourced from Canadian small businesses.

Frank Drinkwater. Frank Drinkwater from Muskoka Wood Bowls has been spinning bowls on his lathe since 2019. Believing there’s a missed opportunity in the local marketplace for large wooden salad bowls his work ranges from 6-inch diameter “pinch” bowls up to 30-inch” Monster Salad Bowls”
Frank has also found that “less than perfect” pieces of timber could be embellished with epoxy resin and turned on the lathe to produce one-of-a-kind artistic pieces and now dedicates a large portion of shop time to create combinations of hybrid wood and resin bowls made from burls, fruit woods and hardwoods sourced from across Ontario with high quality Canadian made resins that are custom coloured to enhance and beautify the wood.
Originally from Cayuga, Frank has been living in Muskoka since 1977. Working from his home-based shop in Bracebridge, Frank creates pieces all year long and offers them for sale to the public at galleries, art shows, and markets across Muskoka during the summer months. In the fall Frank expands his territory and attends craft markets across Ontario. June 28
