Description

About Circle Craft Co-Operative Circle Craft is a unique organization, dedicated to the promotion of fine quality craft, following a heritage of guilds and associations hundreds of years old. Circle Craft is dedicated to progressive marketing of craft, active promotion of craft, and education of members and public. Circle Craft is a co-operative made up of BC craftspeople. Our members' work covers the spectrum from cottage industry to one-of-a-kind artist/craftspeople. The work displayed in our Granville Island shop encompasses traditional and contemporary design. Formed in 1972 by a small group in Victoria, Circle Craft has grown to a major force in the marketing and promotion of quality BC craft. Circle Craft is non-profit and self-sustaining, supported by memberships, commissions on sales and participation fees - Circle Craft receives a 40% commission on member work sold in the shop and our monthly gallery exhibitions. Circle Craft is run by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the membership at an annual general meeting. Circle Craft publishes a quarterly newsletter. Staff are employed to run the gallery shop and special events. Our 1994 Mission Statement reflects the aims of those founding members: "to promote the development, recognition and success of members and their work." We are proud of our achievement in fulfilling our mission: Circle Craft is one of the most successful organizations of its kind in North America. For more information click on the following links.
