The annual Arts Burlington Christmas Sale, held throughout November and December 2020, looked a lot different than in past years, thanks to COVID-19 precautions. But one thing that wasn’t different was the high calibre of handcrafted items that were available to purchase directly from the makers. This year, all items could be viewed and purchased online.
Although the sale is now over, you can still follow the links below to see a sample of the items that were created and sold by individual Burlington Handweavers & Spinners Guild members.
Thank you, shoppers, for supporting local artisans. We hope you—and the people you buy for—were thrilled with your purchases.
