Circle Craft

Located on Granville Island in the Net Loft, Circle Craft Co-operative features the work of 200 craftspeople from across British Columbia and hosts monthly gallery shows.
As Canada’s most successful craft co-operative, Circle Craft has been a major force in promoting the work of craftspeople in British Columbia since 1972.
The Circle Craft Shop & Gallery offers fine contemporary and traditional crafts in clay, glass, fibre, wood, metal and mixed media. Our membership consists of a diverse group of senior, mid-career and emerging craftspeople from across British Columbia. All work is selected through a jurying process.
Circle Craft is also known for its annual Christmas Market held at the Vancouver Convention Centre each November. This Vancouver “tradition”, now in its 37th year, draws over 40,000 visitors to view and purchase the works of close to 300 exhibitors from across Canada.
Profits are recycled to support members, including $5,000 in annual scholarships and since 2003, Circle Craft’s community outreach program has provided $4,000 annually to top students graduating from crafts programs in British Columbia’s Universities and Community Colleges.
