“This isn’t just your grandma’s Christmas craft market,” says Tanya Droege, Chair of the Circle Craft Co-op and owner of seaweed skincare company Sealuxe Organics.
“We have the best of the best Canadian artists who have been honing their craft for more than 40 years, and notable new craftspeople who live off their trade. But, just like your grandma’s market, Circle Craft is all about the things that make ‘slow shopping’ valuable: It’s a celebration of sustainability, craftsmanship, creativity and community.”

The 2023 market will see 291 vendors spread out over 135,000 square feet of Convention Centre space. Visitors will find ceramics, glass, metals and wood to jewellery, textiles and paper. Shoppers will discover 24 “Budding Artists”, 87 new vendors, and 42 members of the Circle Craft Co-op, an artist-run endeavour with its flagship store located on Granville Island year round.
This year’s wares include Indigenous-made items, traditional crafts made modern, as well as a focus on sustainability, recycled materials, and non-gendered, size inclusive fashions.
