This past year has been amazing for us at Maker House Co.
We went from having only a handful of artists, to now having more than 120 artists from across Canada calling our store home.
We've been able to partner with acclaimed Canadian makers, as well as brand new artists, creating an eclectic collection of goods.
From home decor to art prints, 3-D crafts to hand-stitched maps, we are beyond proud of all of the amazingly unique work our makers produce.
Thus, before we move forward to 2017, we thought we should look back at the year that was and show our love for the emerging artists of 2016 at Maker House Co.
Here are 10 artists that made a huge impact in 2016:
