Our Story
Connecting the creative spirit of the San Juan Islands with the world, one handcrafted piece at a time.
Why Salish Sea Crafts?
The San Juan Islands are home to an extraordinary community of artisans — potters, jewelers, woodworkers, painters, weavers, and food crafters. These makers create beautiful, meaningful work inspired by the islands' stunning natural landscapes.
But too often, their work is only visible to the lucky few who visit the islands in person. Salish Sea Crafts changes that.
We're a marketplace that brings the best of San Juan Islands craftsmanship to buyers everywhere. When you shop here, you're not just getting a beautiful product — you're supporting a real person, on a real island, doing what they love.
What We Believe
Maker-First
The artisans are the heart of everything. Their work is the hero; we're just the stage.
Rooted in Place
Every product is made on the San Juan Islands. The landscape, culture, and community shape the work.
Community Over Commerce
We exist to support the island creative economy, not to extract from it.
