	Craft Raffle is growing! We continue to collect some incredible high-end pieces made by OCC Members for our end-of-the-night Raffle. Raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the evening by our staff and volunteers. You could walk away with one of three incredible pieces! Image: Bill Reddick, Fish Plate, porcelain platter.
	Crafty Martinis! After much careful "deliberation" the Events Committee has settled on this year's featured martinis: the Glory Hole, Batik Blue and Hammered & Spun.  Make sure you try them all!  And to help snazz up your imbibing, we'll have a collection of glasses and goblets made by our members available for $20 each at the bar. Here's another glimpse at what is available - more arriving daily! Image: Benjamin Kikkert, Hand blown maritime inspired glasses.

Back again for its third and best year yet, Maker Shaker 2012 is set to once again be the highlight of the Toronto craft community's social calendar.  Mark your planners, spread the word and get ready to party...

Held every spring, Maker Shaker is the Ontario Crafts Council's annual martini-themed silent auction fundraiser in support of the OCC's programming and services. The biggest craft party of the year, this event draws craftmakers, collectors and enthusiasts from across the province for an evening of friendly bidding and mingling. It's a killer martini party, so be prepared for some fun; tickets include refreshments, oysters and tasty treats galore.  Cheaper than a night at the movies, it’s an absolute steal and way more fun!

Watch this page for more information and for the silent auction gallery.
