San Juan Canvas

Owned since 2009 by husband and wife team Derek Steere and Lauren Cohen , San Juan Canvas continues its long tradition of pride in workmanship. Derek and Lauren both possess a lifelong love of boats and all things nautical. As recovering teachers, rather than sail off to the South Seas, we landed here on San Juan Island. After many years of practice listening to clients communicate their needs and dreams in the custom kitchen and bath industry, we got the opportunity to combine communication, design and sewing skills through San Juan Canvas. We strive to provide top notch service and products every time.

See You Soon. Derek & Lauren
