County of Summit Developmental Disabilities Board


The Gift Gallery by Weaver Industries

The County of Summit Developmental Disabilities Board and Weaver Industries have joined together to create the Gift Gallery by Weaver stores that feature a wide variety of rare, handcrafted items made by Summit County artisans with disabilities. Their artistry is encouraged through their individual day programs which includes creating handcrafted pottery and hand-sewn items. At the Gift Gallery you will find these products perfect for any occasion and budget, as well as gift wrap, greeting cards, gourmet treats and more. The objective is to help to support community employment opportunities and programs. The Gift Gallery offers “the right gift... at the right price... for the right reason.”

The Dream Out Loud Studio located in Ellet is the home of the Claycrafters and Custom Stitches products In addition to making clay and stitched products, artists use their talent to create paintings that are for sale in the Gift Gallery stores.
