Unique Handmade Gifts from Ohio Makers

Ohio has a strong maker scene, and the best way to find unique handmade gifts is to visit a local craft show or maker market. You get to meet the person who made the item, ask questions, and take home something that was not mass produced.
Why shop at Ohio craft shows?
Craft shows are curated. The vendors are usually small businesses, artists, and makers who bring their best work. Prices can be higher than big-box stores, but you are paying for time, skill, and originality. You also get to see items in person before buying, which matters for art, jewelry, and 3D printed pieces.
What Velk Studio brings to shows
At Velk Studio booths you will find custom order forms, ready-made 3D prints, and examples of our most popular pieces. We usually bring:
- Custom cat and crab figurines
- Hermit crabs with hats and shells
- Small ready-to-go 3D printed gifts
- Sign-up sheets for our drop list
Upcoming shows
Check the shows page for our current schedule. We vend at events across Northeast Ohio, including Oddmall and other local maker markets. If you see us, come say hello. We love talking about 3D printing and helping people figure out the right custom piece.
Can not make it to a show?
You can also find Velk Studio items in select consignment stores around Northeast Ohio. Visit the stockists page for current locations. And if you want first access to new drops and show announcements, join the mailing list on the subscriptions page.
