The Supernova Market welcomes artists, designers, makers, and non-profits from across Atlantic Canada, who make and sell handmade products.
For the purposes of the Supernova Market, "handmade" refers to products that are crafted by the vendor (or their small team) using traditional techniques, tools, and processes. The items should be primarily created or substantially altered by hand, rather than mass-produced or assembled from pre-manufactured components.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Items that are designed, created, and finished by the vendor in their own workspace or studio.
- Products that involve significant manual labor, such as handcrafting, hand-stitching, hand-painting, or hand-assembling.
- Goods that reflect the vendor’s personal artistry and craftsmanship, with each piece being unique or thoughtfully made.
Transparency Clause: We ask that all vendors provide transparency about their production process in their vendor application. If a vendor uses any outsourced labor, mass-produced components, or third-party manufacturers, it must be clearly disclosed. Failure to be transparent about the creation process may result in removal from the market. Items that are mass-produced, resold, or imported from large-scale manufacturers do not qualify as handmade. If you will be selling any products that do not qualify as handmade we require vendors to clearly label items that are not handmade or have been sourced from outside the local area, providing full disclosure to customers.
