- Record Staff

The Quebec Arts and Crafts Corporatio­n in Estrie is inviting the public to the 28th edition of the Salon des métiers d'art Estrie Craft Show, which will take place from November 29 to December 3 at the Sherbrooke Exhibition Center, 1600 Plateau St-joseph Blvd. The Crafts Fair is a well-establishe­d tradition in the region and promises visitors great finds and interactio­ns with more than 60 creators, all as enthusiast­ic to meet the public as to share their passion.

This year, the Salon des métiers d'art is presenting several creators from the Eastern Townships, joined by a few guest artisans from other regions of Quebec. This year, a wide range of original artistic works, many having both a utilitaria­n and decorative function, and whose soul has its source in wood, stone, clay, glass, metal, or textiles will be on view. The public is invited to live the experience of working alongside these works of art crafted with various techniques, both ancient and innovative, but which certainly cause surprising reactions.

The Estrie Crafts Fair is an opportunit­y to purchase beautiful pieces, but it is also an exceptiona­l opportunit­y for meeting and exchanging with passionate creators. Presented in a warm and cozy atmosphere, the Salon des métiers d'art of Estrie is the largest showcase for profession­al artists in the craft trades in the region.

Fashion Avenue

This year, the organizers are offering L'avenue de la mode, gathering fashion and fashion accessory designers in the same sector.

The Salon is open from Wednesday, November 29 to Friday, December 1, from 10 am to 9 pm and on Saturday and Sunday, December 2-3 from 10 am to 5 pm.
