The Creative Life: Creating Urban Craft


Guys! For the past month-and-a-half or so, I've been working on a not-so-secret project that I haven't had a chance to share here yet. We're launching a new craft show here in Ottawa called Urban Craft! I'm incredibly excited about it, to say the least, and it's been so fun working on it.

We were inspired by other monthly shows that have become wildly popular in other cities, and wanted to bring the idea to Ottawa. We also really wanted to provide a place where crafters and artisanal food producers could sell their creations every month in an indoor setting. Out of all this grew Urban Craft, a curated show that will be taking place in Hintonburg, an up-and-coming neighborhood in Ottawa.


The show has an indie and modern focus and we are incredibly excited about the vendors who have signed on. The talent that we've discovered through Urban Craft is ridiculously amazing and we can't wait for the first show, which will be taking place in a little over two weeks. Urban Craft will run the first Saturday of every month from 10am-2pm at The GCTC (on the corner of Holland & Wellington, for the locals).

We worked with our favorite graphic designer, Potomac Studio, who created our branding/identity as well as these awesome-as-heck posters which just came back from the printer yesterday. I'm giddy with excitement!
