About

Join us for our inaugural Unama’ki Cape Breton Craft Week!

Craft Week 2026 is a week-long celebration that exists to celebrate, showcase, and elevate the diverse and vibrant craft traditions of Unama’ki Cape Breton. Through a dynamic week of events, workshops, exhibitions, and community gatherings, Craft Week fosters connections between makers and learners, locally and beyond.

Craft Week workshops will be offered free or on a pay-what-you-can basis because we believe everyone deserves a chance to make, learn, and connect through craft. If you’re able to contribute, your support helps us continue offering oportunities like this. If not, we’re still so glad you’re joining us. If you’d like to contribute, you can send an e-transfer to [email protected]

For more information or how to register, contact [email protected]

Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design gratefully acknowledges the support of Canada Council for the Arts and Cape Breton Beverages for Craft Week 2026.
