Artisans in the Woodward’s Heritage Building Atrium

July 15, 2013 by CACV Admin

While wandering through the Woodward's atrium, 111 West Hastings Street, I chanced upon a group of tables with artisan wares displayed.  These talented people were selling their hand-crafted goods.   I remember jewelry, pottery, greeting cards, stylish leather ware, and furniture, both ready and custom, made from recycled, upcycled wood.

Willy Blizzard performs at the November Eco-Arts Salon. Photograph by Eryne Donahue 2012.

I’m very happy to have seen so many people attend this month´s event with our guest Willy Blizzard. A Local indie-roots folk band that has been following their musical passion since ´54.
