About Make It

Make It is one of the most popular and well-attended craft fairs in Canada, with bi-annual shows in Vancouver and Edmonton. Make It was founded in 2008 by Jenna Herbut, with her brother Chandler;  as makers themselves, they were inspired to create an event that their friends and peers would appreciate. Since the early days, Make It has been a platform for countless artists, makers, and designers to showcase and sell their work to the public. Make It! is based in Gastown, Vancouver and engages a strong Makie community year-round with events such as Make It Talks and Make It TV. For more information, visit makeitshow.ca.
