Maker House: Buy Canadian
Maker House is a curated collection of goods from over 200 Canadian makers, approximately half are in the National Capital Region. The store in Hintonburg showcases furniture, homewares, artwork and gifts. Most items have a practical purpose, whether it’s natural soaps and candles, chocolates or whiskey barrel-aged maple syrup. They have a huge selection of DIY kits for the crafty people in your life. Near the store is a 3000 sq.ft. woodshop where they make custom furniture to suit customer’s needs.
Maker House wants to help customers know the story of their stuff, by helping them know about the makers and process behind their products. The website includes a ‘Meet the Makers’ section with profiles, and customers can buy easily online with in-store pickup, local delivery, or shipping across North America. The company also raises money for charity with each sale through their Craft Change program, donating around $100,000 and counting since Maker House opened 5-years ago as a pop-up shop. In pre-COVID times they would host events in the store regularly to animate the large space, including DIY workshops and cocktail tastings or craft beer nights.
