![]() What is Studio Note and how did it come to be? I’ve always crafted - knitting, baking, sewing-so making candles was bound to happen sooner or later! With my job being primarily digital, I crave creative projects with tangible outcomes. After graduation, I worked as a Graphic Designer for the first few years of my design career, and later I shifted to working as a UX/UI Designer, which is the discipline I specialize in now. This journey reminded me of how much I love making and creating with my hands.Įlina: I studied Communication Design at Emily Carr. After a few years of working, I decided to take a break and traveled to Paris to study French pastry. I have a background in industrial design. Born in Taiwan, I left my home country at a young age and have since been living in places including Vancouver and Paris. Mandy: I’m a Vancouver-based creative with a passion for human experience and food. Tell us a bit about yourselves and your relevant backgrounds.

While the duo have been collaborating on projects for a while, Studio Note officially launches at Toque. Abstractly described as “a Vancouver-based design collective pursuing unique experiences through a mix of objects and mediums”, Studio Note is the passion project of designers Elina Takahashi and Mandy Chang. Toque also has a knack for introducing new artists each year, artists you won’t find at other holiday markets, and certainly not in any shops, at least not yet. And Littlecrane Beadworks by Jeska Slater is back after a year’s absence, combining traditional beadwork with contemporary design. In addition to their usual soft toys, tuk + milo introduces sensory play and open-ended play products this year. ![]() ![]() Especially popular artists, whose goods nearly sold out last year, make a return, like Woolf Glass with their minimalist stained glass pieces, Julia Chirka and her wonderfully quirky mugs and tumblers, and WarmAndDrift with their needle felted wool animals and ornaments. You’ll find everything from ceramics, leather accessories, and jewellery, to florals, home decor, and things for kids. There’s variety with no two vendors alike. Previewing this year’s lineup on the website, it’s no wonder Toque has upheld its reputation as the most artful craft fair. Taking place in some form or another since the 1970s, the craft fair has been organized by different artists, curators and creatives over the years, always with a distinct artist focus. The annual craft fair and fundraiser features a tightly curated selection of 30 B.C.-based artists, designers, and makers. Western Front’s Toque Craft Fair returns as a vibrant online marketplace from December 1-5. ![]()
