The Sweetie Pie Press is an independently owned and operated art and craft operation that is run out of a modest and warm apartment in Toronto. We also plan annual tours and sometimes act as a completely organic connective tissue between artists and makers the world over.
The Sweetie Pie Press is run entirely by Becky Johnson. Becky also helms City of Craft, an indie craft organization in Toronto that presents a major holiday craft fair, gallery events, trunk shows and other craft-based programming. Becky is a contributor to the Toronto Craft Alert, too - an online source for critical thinking and news about craft happenings in and around Toronto. She teaches skill-based workshops, shares ideas for free and sometimes lectures about topics from the indie craft world. She also crochets just about every day.
