Gilbert
Dufour worked in fashion apparel
for over 20 years in Montreal, but after completing a course in
leather accessory design, he moved to Toronto to pursue his life-long
passion for high quality leather goods known as la maroquinerie.
He works in leather and exotic skins to create one-of-a-kind accessories
in his studio. His inspiration comes from European master craftsmen
such as Hermes and Dunhill.

JOANNE
BIGHAM |
|
| An
accomplished painter, sculptor and printmaker, Joanne Bigham entered
the world of puppet theatre by chance. She spent six years on the
road with children’s entertainers Sharon, Lois and Bram as
an “elephant keeper", props person and designer and later
wrangled Ella and CC Copy Cat for Skinnamarink TV, wildly popular
with the under-six TV crowd. Open Door Designs was born when a friend
asked Joanne to make a puppet theatre that could be taken to libraries
and schools. Since then the business has continued to thrive and
grow with the introduction of several free standing portable
puppet theatres and a variety of puppets.
In 2007 Joanne opened the Open Door Designs' retail
store, located in Toronto which features her designs and a number
of other Canadian puppet builders. |
| |
|
| |
Open
Door Designs' retail
store located at 1597 Dupont Street near the Junction
in Toronto, stocks all kinds of puppets.
In addition to our own line of portable puppet theatres and
puppets choose from a variety of reasonably priced handcrafted
puppets from local artists including
marionettes, hand puppets, rod
puppets and finger puppets.
