About
PlainMarket
PlainMarket is a Canadian editorial archive focused on artisan craft traditions, local handmade goods markets, and the economics of running an independent maker business. Content on this site is editorial and informational — it does not represent any commercial marketplace, vendor directory, or retail operation.
What this site covers
The site documents three related areas: how Canadian craft markets are structured and where they operate; how buyers and enthusiasts can identify genuinely handcrafted goods; and how independent artisans approach the practical side of running a small craft-based business in Canada.
Coverage draws on publicly available records, government documentation from sources such as the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial small-business registries, and editorial research into established Canadian craft traditions.
Editorial standards

Corrections and factual clarifications are welcomed via the contact form on the home page or directly at info@plainmarket.org.
