Walrus & Fieldwork

front window display by FIELDWORK

Today I got the chance to finally check out Walrus, a super-cute shop in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver with my friend, Janis of Pinecone Camp. Located near the corner of Cambie and 18th, the shop is filled with gorgeous wares and at all different price points. Look for pieces from local and Canadian artists, such as ceramics by Paige Russell and jewelry by Alex Henderson of Henderson Dry Goods. They also carry some of my favourite American artist's such as Yellow Owl Workshop and Poketo and new to me pieces such as beautiful wooden cheese boards by pension fuer produkte from Germany.

They often have art exhibitions as well and today they were preparing for the folks from FIELDWORK to move in for an opening this evening. FIELDWORK is a collaborative group of designers in Vancouver making things and telling stories. We loved what they did to the front display window and you can find out more about them here. Opening, Thursday, November 18th, 2010 (6 -9 pm)

Walrus looks like a nice place to visit. I really like the lighting that is within the shelves on the right side of the store. And that collection of little terrariums.

@Christina: why yes, yes we do specialize in installations [I'm a Fieldworker, by the way].
