Common Thread

Common Thread is a Vancouver-based non-profit society whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for people living with multiple barriers (physical, mental health and social challenges) through craft and sewing. We provide participants with opportunities for skills development and social connectedness as well support them to secure employment with their new skills or we integrate them into our own production program. 

All the items on sale at the Pacific Arts Markets were made by the participants of our Craftworks Program, which provides an opportunity to earn supplemental income through craft for people with complex challenges, many of whom are also homebound because of their health.
