BC Crafthouse brings some of the most splendid arts and crafts specialties available in British Columbia. This organization, based on Vancouver's beautiful Granville Island, provides an outlet for the display and sale of contemporary, and leading edge fine crafts by local artisans.

Crafthouse offers a broad range of crafts in a variety of media, including clay, fibre, glass, metal, wood and mixed media. The work represents a broad range of styles and prices, starting at just $5 for beautifully hand-crafted wooden spinning tops.

Purchases can be packaged for travel or for shipping worldwide.

Crafthouse provides craft-related information and education to its artist members, the general public, professionals in the visual arts community, and craftspeople. The organization aims to be self-supporting in its promotion of craft.

Crafthouse also provides the following:

• A referral system both for customers desiring to commission work and to other shops and galleries wishing to represent a craftsperson's work.
• Facilitates corporate and incentive gifts of a more special nature, especially those with a local BC flavor.
• Supports other non-profit ventures by occasionally selling work and donating the proceeds to that venture.
• Promotes the work of member craftspeople in a variety of ways, including coordinating displays on Robson St., Pacific Centre Shopping Centre and YVR.
• Provides volunteer opportunities for those interested in customer service and sales.
