Click here to review and download the 2009 Circle Craft Christmas Market Application.
The 35th annual Circle Craft Christmas Market was once again a roaring success. Attendees were
able to meet and mingle with fine artisans from BC and Canada, watch glass blowing demos, enjoy young Lower Mainland talent on our Entertainment Stage and Student Exhibiton, and more! And, holiday shoppers were able to purchase hand-made high quality unique craft items for loved ones. We thank everyone who came down this year for helping make the show such a great one and for supporting our local craft.
If you didn’t make it down this year, or you meant to get back one more time and didn’t, or maybe you didn’t quite get your fill, come down and check out our Granville Island Shop where you’ll find many BC Circle Craft members’ work on display and for sale, several who were at this year’s Market. The Circle Craft Shop & Gallery is located at: 1 - 1666 Johnston Street, Net Loft Granville Island, Vancouver.
We’re already looking ahead and are excited about our 36th annual Market, which will take place November 11 to 15, 2009—once again under the sails of the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre. Guests will find hundreds of Canadian and BC artisans presenting their wares at Western Canada’s largest craft fair. There’ll be fabulous fashion, fine jewellery, clay work, metal, glass, and more – individually hand-crafted items – items that make for the most special gifts for friends and family (and for oneself of course!).
We also present several artisan shows per year in our gallery at the Shop each month. The next one, in February 2009, features Circle Craft scholarship winners: Margaret Matsuyama, Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design, Ceramics Program; Corrina Suveges, Capilano College, Textile Arts Program; Erick James, Kootenay School of the Arts, Metal Program; and, Marek Norman, Vancouver Community College, Jewellery Program
