Our Team

The passion and dedication that underlie the creation of craft can also be found in the offices of Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design.

Here, a small but mighty team, united by a love of Cape Breton craft and a fierce commitment to its preservation and cultivation, implements the many services and programs of the Centre. Here, too, is where the strive for excellence begins.
