With more than 800 vendors present at its Christmas edition, the biannual One of a Kind is the largest and most heavily attended craft show in North America. Following the cancellation of this spring’s show, which was set to take place in March, organizers are taking the show online. To connect with the 500 artisans and small businesses from across Canada who were slated to participate, would-be attendees can now visit booths virtually.
Founded in 1975, One of a Kind has a mandate of promoting the culture of craft, providing a marketplace for vendors and also a meeting place for the Canadian craft community. Each show is given a theme, which for spring was transformation. With curated neighbourhoods devoted to food, emerging talent and fashion, artisans demonstrate how materials can be transformed through gestures like pinching, pressing and twisting to create something new.
To purchase these unique pieces, the One of a Kind website has a page dedicated to all of the vendors of the Spring Show. Vendors can be explored by category, neighbourhood or company name, or take a look through new additions to the show. Each profile has a link to an e-commerce store, website or social media connected to the vendor.
