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. Save the date, 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. This event draws makers, collectors and enthusiasts for an evening of friendly bidding and mingling. It's a killer martini party, so be prepared for some fun; your ticket includes refreshments, oysters by Oyster Boy and many other tasty treats. Cheaper than a night at the movies, it's an absolute steal and way more fun!

Tickets are moving fast! Buy in advance and save.
