Banquet Atelier & Workshop Ltd. is a Vancouver-based studio using two overactive imaginations to create beauty and magic. Partners Sarah Edmonds and Tammy Lawrence are currently loving and inspired by stacks of books, Jeremy Dutcher and the Kehkimin Wolastoqey Language Immersion School, starting excessive amounts of seeds, walking in the woods (because becoming runners didn’t work out), Echinacea pallida “Hula Dancer,”  the paintings of Alma Thomas, knitting Fair Isle colourwork in bright colours, hanging with inspirational women and our wise and brilliant kids, making shakshuka for dinner, and visits to our local library. Our products are produced locally wherever possible and always with an eye to affordability, environmental sustainability, and our own distinct sense of colour, line and pattern.  

We have licensed our work and collaborated with Yellow Owl, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Terrain, Anthropologie, artist Maggie Boyd, Land of Nod and many others to create exclusive product and designs. 

We are proud monthly donors of hardworking organisations locally and abroad. A percentage of all we produce and sell is donated to these incredible organisations doing such hard work. We appreciate all the effort they make to bring solace to those in turmoil. Organisations include Urban Native Youth Association who provide support and  opportunities to Native Youth living here in our neighbourhood in East Vancouver. Doctors Without Borders an organization that provides emergency medical care to people affected by wars, disasters and epidemics. And  World Central Kitchen an international aid group that seeks to fill the need of healthy and sustaining food during humanitarian crises. We also donate products for local auctions and organisations including The Cultch (a local theatre space), Survived & Punished (a New York Mutual Aid Organisation for incarcerated survivors of gender based violence), our neighbourhood schools and other local organisations. 

We LOVE what we do and hope you will too!
