The inaugural Unama’ki Cape Breton Craft Week is launching June 1–7, 2026! 🎨✨
Presented by Cape Breton Beverages, this brand new week-long celebration will bring together makers, artists, cultural organizations, and communities from across Unama’ki Cape Breton for seven days of creativity, connection, and hands-on experiences.
From workshops and artist talks to exhibitions, studio experiences, demonstrations, and the highly anticipated Pottery Throw Down 🏺🔥 there’s something for everyone to discover and enjoy.
Craft Week celebrates the incredible talent, traditions, and contemporary craft practices that make Cape Breton so unique, including textiles, ceramics, jewellery, Mi’kmaq craft practices, and more.
Best of all? All events and workshop are free or pay-what-you-can because everyone deserves the chance to make, learn, and connect through craft ❤️
