Craft Council of British Columbia Gallery The Craft Council of British Columbia Gallery promotes contemporary fine craft by emerging and established artists by regularly exhibiting their work. Financial support for these exhibitions is generously provided by the Province of British Columbia through gaming revenue, the British Columbia Arts Council, and Granville Island. One of the few spaces dedicated to exhibiting craft, the Craft Council of British Columbia Gallery offers emerging and established craftspeople the opportunity to gain recognition and exhibition experience in a well-known, popular and heavily visited venue. Exhibitors are selected by a jury. There will be no jury in 2009 as upcoming exhibitions have been selected.

The exhibit celebrates the details of tide pools and treasures of beachcombing with the traditional and contemporary techniques of embroidery and quilting. By layering and combining materials such as cotton, silk and wool, the artist uses the natural texture and unique surfaces of thread and cloth to their full potential. Top Rachel
