Craft Sector Strategy

Framework for Progress is the product of collective effort and a shared understanding of the creative and commercial potential of Cape Breton artisans and craftspersons. It offers a picture of Cape Breton’s craft sector and presents a framework for growth and advancement.

Under the direction of the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design, early in 2003, a team of independent consultants engaged craft producers at all levels, sector leaders, government officials, community and economic developers, cultural industry proponents and other key informants in forging this go forward plan. A broadly representative Steering Committee guided the process and provided invaluable insight and comment throughout the study.
