Country charm at Circle Craft Christmas Market 2018
Over 300 artisans, November 7-11

Circle Craft Cooperative is thrilled to announce the 2018 Circle Craft Christmas Market, November 7-11 at the Convention Centre West in Vancouver. The theme of this year’s market, “Farmhouse Christmas,” is a phrase that brings to mind old-school simplicity, rustic charm, the countryside and nature, as well as artisan craftsmanship. Of course, in our modern world, urbanites have made sure our cities include these things as well. Our artisans come from across Canada, from remote communities, as well as from the big cities.

Circle Craft Christmas Market, a Vancouver tradition for over four decades, traditionally begins the holiday shopping season in the city. In 2018, over 300 artisans (more than 70 new!) will take part: clothing designers, potters, wood and metal workers, glass blowers, jewellers, toy makers, candle and soap makers, and more!

In addition, to round out the experience, visitors will find craft technique demos (e.g. a pottery wheel and dress painting by Lennard Taylor Design Studio), contests, and the "Budding Artists" open area where emerging artists will introduce exciting and innovative new work.
