This year marks the 10-year anniversary of indie craft mainstay Got Craft?. Taking place May 7-8 at The Pipe Shop Building (115 Victory Ship Way) in North Van, the market is celebrating with amazing swag bags for the first 50 guests each day, hands-on DIY workshops hosted throughout the weekend and even flowers for the mamas. Here are my top five must-see vendors at this year’s event:
g ceramic & co.
gceramicandco.com | @gceramicandco
From stunning porcelain tableware with an art deco-inspired geometric pattern, to coffee mugs with cheeky 18k-gold inscriptions like "F**k Yes" or "The Way We Love...", founder Gabrielle Burke is a ceramicist after my own designer heart.
East Van Light
eastvanlight.com | @eastvanlight
A polished industrial aesthetic, locally salvaged materials and unique designs are the driving forces behind East Van Light. Ambient lighting is one of the key elements of successful design and I love when fresh creations are being offered from our local artisan community.
London Fields Shoppe
londonfieldsshoppe.com | @londonfieldsshoppe
The Strathcona-based boutique, London Fields Shoppe (the brick and mortar brainchild of the Got Craft? producers), will be exhibiting at the event, offering an eclectic mix of curated goods ranging from stationery to homewares.
Conceptually Speaking
conceptuallyspeaking.com | @conceptuallyspeaking
Kristi-Lea Abramson brings her personality to life with her whimsical artwork and greeting cards everyone wants to receive. All her designs begin with a pen and a sketchbook, bringing literal meaning to the term 'handcrafted'.
Green With Envy
greenwithenvy.ca | @greenwithenvyca
Green With Envy brings your decor to life. Literally. Its succulents and air plants are not only good for your health, but housed within a chic white geometric planter, the greenery adds a beautifully natural element to any room design.
