About LanaBetty: LanaBetty is a jewelry studio rooted in Vancouver, BC, where traditional goldsmithing meets modern technology. I handcraft fine jewelry that tells stories—of empowerment, intention, and bold beauty—with ethically sourced metals and gemstones. Each piece is made to last, made to fit, and made to matter.

The One of a Kind Show is more than just a market—it’s a celebration of Canadian craftsmanship, creativity, and connection. Being part of it means I get to share my work with people who value artistry and authenticity. It’s where I meet longtime collectors, spark new friendships, and see faces light up when they find their piece—the one that feels like it was made just for them. It reminds me why I do what I do: to make jewelry that feels personal, powerful, and one of a kind in every sense.

About Freon Collective: Hi! I'm Nancy and I'm the owner and maker behind Freon Collective, a low-waste lifestyle brand located in Toronto, ON. I design all of our prints used in our goods, and cut and sew everything in my Leslieville studio. I have been with the One of a Kind Show since 2016, first working with a local brand as an exhibitor, attending the show for many years as a member of press, and finally exhibiting at the show under my own brand starting in 2021.

I am very passionate about the One of a Kind Show, and often share tips on lighting, booth design, inventory organization, and various other topics related to the show on our social media pages. Since 2021, we have won various awards at the show (social media awards, best booth, design awards) and have been featured in various publications and media.

The show has been instrumental in growing my brand, customer leads, and I have been fortunate to build so many connections and friendships with fellow exhibitors through my years of doing the One of a Kind Show!

About The Pottery: I throw functional porcelain. I've been a full-time potter and educator for 40 years now. My father took part in the second one of a kind show and then for 10 shows after that in the automotive center. As a young teenager, I helped him at those shows and towards the end of his time at the shows, I was even throwing pottery for I have a long history with the show and it feels like family. Of course, sales are a big part of why I do the show.

About Copious: Copious is an upcycling brand that works with stained, damaged, unwanted or donated fabrics. By repurposing these items and giving them new life, designer Carissa McCaig keeps them from landfills while creating new one-of-a-kind designs for her customers to fall in love with.

The One of a Kind Show has been the centre point to building the Copious brand. It has allowed me to get in front of lots of people, both at the Spring & Winter show, give my products the chance to be really seen. I would not have succeeded at this show if it weren't for the makers who took me under their wing and helped guide me to the right way to sell at OOAK. I am overjoyed that the mentorship program is back, it really shows that we are about community over competition!
