A new kind of craft festival is coming to Vancouver this spring. Crafted Vancouver will introduce multiple craft disciplines through several events--including workshops, self-guided tours, presentations, tastings, talks, and more.

Taking place over 25 days in May, Crafted Vancouver will showcase "established and emerging makers, designers and artists whose work provides a unique point of view," according to a media release.
During the course of the month, participants can do anything from going behind the scenes at the Vancouver Opera to learning the "joy of gin."Â There will be traditional weaving demonstrations, tours of galleries and studio spaces, a course in hand-sewn tote bag making, and much more--including a free Opening Night Reception public event on May 9.
The full schedule of events for the inaugural Crafted Vancouver is available online.
