Arts and Crafts

For a number of years Don and Jude Charbonneau have attended craft shows across Ontario. Although they still attend a few of the smaller fall shows they are now making their handmade crafts available on this website.
Don is a muti - media artist and his songs, poems, art and crafts are inspired by the land he loves, lives and works on. We will be adding more of his work on this page.

We are now building more of our small "Funktional" art cabinets and adding more of Don's Lake Superior inspired art on the cabinet doors. Please come back and visit.  September 10 2008/
