Staff provided the most basic service - one pointing with her foot to bins of the yarn I requested and walking away. Cramped basic shelving, narrow aisles and drapery concealing the back room.

If you love silk, you'll love this place. When you enter on the left, there's a silk worm terrarium…read morewhere you can see the little guys in action. The main display area of the store is finished products (woven and felted), but they sell it from cocoon to clothing. Unfortunately they don't sell fabric, which is my only complaint. They have the silk fibre on its own and mixed with other natural fibres, as well as a colorful selection of silk yarns. They even have silk elastic, which I had never even heard of before I visited the shop. If you only go to one store to buy silk-related products in your lifetime, go here. But I think the best part of the shop is the giant looms that sit in the display area, where you can usually see staff members weaving the silk into fabric.

Our textiles class had a field trip to Granville Island this afternoon, and one of our stops was at…read morethe Silk Weaving Studio, after just having learned a few things about Silk and Silk Worms in class. I was really really thrilled to see a loom in real life.. which makes ME sound really interesting, I'm sure. There are ladies working at the looms as customers browse the studio and it's quite fascinating to watch. I wanted to give it a shot myself, but there are signs on all the looms saying not to touch them. They were totally cool with me hovering over them like a creep to watch them work though. The rest of the studio is filled with various silk woven garments and other things that are absolutely gorgeous with very very informative tags on them. And I was shocked (in a good way) to see that they actually had live Silk Worms!! There were a few glass aquariums around with the various stages of the worms, and a little plate with a fat little guy eating some Mulberry leaves! SO COOL. You can also buy hardened Silk Worm cocoons at the front counter. They are (I think) 25 cents each, or 5 for $1.

I got a lot of awesome glitter and cool funky keychains and lanyards marked down to only $1.

The resin section was pretty wiped out. The resin molds were WAY over priced ! Like 30$ for a trinket box mold ?! What.... This location seems run down, with poor management. The staff needs better training, they need better signage for markdowns, and they need to order more product to fill the shelves.

However, once you enter you see the exhibits are a bit more subdued and it isn't as large as it seems from the outside. Still, that shouldn't discourage you from having a good time and getting a big old "VAG" hand stamp on you to experience this art gallery. The exterior of this museum is all Victorian in the scope of its columns and use of concrete materials. It could be a museum perfectly placed in any other Commonwealth country. Entering inside you go through a long hallway with a gift shop at the very end with a good selection of art related and niche items to buy. On one side of the hallway are lockers and restrooms. On the other is a stairway up to their cafe/restaurant as well as the entrance to the actual galleries for the museum. It doesn't feel aged and instead quite modern and efficiently designed. As most museums, there is a rotation of different exhibits and featured artists. During my visit one of the most visually stunning pieces was an atrium area with curving staircases on both sides with a rainbow pattern of waves on the ground. It was a nice visual and interactive piece and definitely one meant for social media. Continuing on I enjoyed seeing lots of interactive art pieces. One was a prompt on the wall where you could put sticky notes on the wall to answer the question. Another similar piece was found but instead of sticky notes you could hang pieces of paper with words or artwork as your response to their prompt. One of my favorite parts of the Vancouver Art Gallery was their offerings of easy to carry foldable chairs. This meant if you really found something you wanted to spend more time on you had a chair to help sit for a while. I wish more museums had this amenity. First Fridays of each month means free admission, though it is first come first serve so you might be waiting a while. But a free admission to this museum felt worth it. However, if you have to pay to come in unless they have a specific piece of art or artist featured that you like it might feel a bit expensive for the price of admission. Either way, museums are a great insight into any city and if you want to experience the creative side of Vancouver, the Vancouver Art Gallery is a good place to visit while exploring the city.
