Virtual Artisan Market
Welcome to the Harrison Virtual Artisan Market!
We would like to acknowledge the sacred land on which we gather, as the unceded territory of the Sts’ailes Peoples.
Welcome to the first-ever Harrison Virtual Artisan Market. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic a couple years ago, we were unable to host our usual Artisan Market during the July Festival as well as the September Craft Market on the Labour Day long weekend. We did, however, present this replacement event and decided to keep it going! Hopefully this will help you get some shopping knocked off your list as well as support some of BC’s finest artists and organizations!
Below you will find a group of talented BC artists/groups that have come together to form this amazing collective. Use the filters on the top to sort through categories of artistry if you like. Once you click on the icon, you will be taken directly to their website where you can shop till you drop, or in this case, your forefinger cramps up.
Interested in joining the Market, apply here!

Skinsation Naturally
Ina started experiencing skin irritation, food sensitivities and allergies to her environment over the last 10 years. And like most everyone in the same situation would do: stopped using dryer sheets, scented laundry detergent and converted to unscented soaps and skin care – but these products (even 8 years ago) were hard to find or if found, were expensive, quickly sold out and then were dis-continued and replaced with something containing harsh chemicals, perfumes or allergy causing ingredients. As soon as her first (of 9) grandchildren arrived back in 2012, Ina wanted to find natural and safe products for the babies and found they were incredibly over-priced or over-scented.
Ina has never been one to sit idle and is curious to boot. She thought there had to be a way to get a consistent product at a reasonable price that contained only the simplest ingredients possible. It all started with the kid’s bubble bath and facial creams.
The transition to formulating skin & body care products was easy and not far off from accounting! The bulk of the work is with the averages, weights, and percentages of the lovely, natural ingredients she uses. Thus, the creation of skinsationnaturally!
