So a tie-dyer, a ceramic artist and slipper knitter walk into a bar or should I say a giant convention hall and…..so began the annual Circle Craft Christmas Market.
Now in 40th year, the Circle Craft Christmas Market is basically Vancouver’s craft show Greycup. Running from November 7-11 this year, the line up includes artists and artisans from Black Creek to Kitchener, Okotoks to Whitehorse. But some of the niftiest finds are, of course, created by artists and artisans who call Vancouver home.
