Heritage Christmas Craft Fair November 14, 2008

The event is a juried fair that brings together 75 different artisans from the Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast, offering up all sorts of hand-created items that run the gamut from jewelry, pottery and stained glass to handmade confections, Christmas decorations, quilts and hand-blown glass.

Among the local artisans displaying work will be Jayne Knowles, with shortbread, candy and hand-painted stools; Wendy Durrant, with fleece wear; Merle Bennett, with handmade cards, albums and stamped tiles; and Johanna Newman, with jewelry made with beads from around the world.

Admission to the show is free, so whether you're in for shopping or just browsing, it's well worth stopping by the Shadbolt Centre.
