"Gift"ed at the Williams Mill

The holiday season is a busier time than usual for the Williams Mill artists. As well as spending more time in the studio creating magical gifts for you to buy, the artists often have their studios open longer than usual in an effort to accommodate your needs for shopping for that special someone. The artists also participate in Georgetown community seasonal events . You may have seen the Williams Mill truck in the Christmas parade!

As well, you have probably seen many of our crafts people at unique gift shows from The Moose Show in downtown Toronto, to Signatures in Ottawa.

And did you know many of our artists accept commissions? Or have a gift certificate option?  Original art is a thoughtful, unique, as well as beautiful gift. Or, as I always like to say, in reference to my paintings "original art is an instant heirloom". This sentiment applies to any of the original art found at the Mill!

It's probably a little late for some of our artists to produce a custom piece this close to Christmas, but it never hurts to ask. And there is still an an amazing selection of work available now in their studios.

Most studios are open Fridays and Saturdays 12-5 pm. You can contact individual artists through the Williams Mill website.
