Makers Stash Market (Free market of maker seconds and one-offs)

Makers Stash flips the usual craft-market rule. Instead of hiding flawed or experimental pieces, the whole market is built around them: one-offs, test products, B-grade items, colour tests, misprints, overstock, old branding, samples and prototypes. In craft terms these are seconds, work with a small glaze flaw or print error that makers usually sell cheaply or set aside. It's organized by Hop & Flop, a Calgary card-and-sticker brand that has sold at local markets for 15 years, and Lunch Box Stickers, whose founder previously ran the Mini MRKT shop in Kensington, and they pitch every purchase as support for local makers that also cuts waste. There's lots of parking, and the organizers suggest bringing reusable bags.
