About

Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design, located in beautiful Downtown Sydney, is a must-see during your visit to Cape Breton Island. 
The stunning Gallery Shop contains the work of over 90 Cape Breton artisans. Hundreds of unusual and one-of-a-kind items are on display and available for purchase. The Centre also hosts exhibitions and a variety of craft workshops throughout the year. Discover the connections between Cape Breton’s culture and geography and the work of our artisans by taking to the road with the Cape Breton Artisan Trail Map. It will set you on a trail of discovery and beauty with good measures of culture, history, adventure and charm.
Near the entrance of Cape Breton Island in the town of Port Hawkesbury, discover artists-in-residence and crafts from Cape Breton artisans at Customs House Artisan Incubator, part of the Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design.
