Description
The PEI Craft Council is located in beautiful downtown Charlottetown. Our backyard neighbour is Peakes Quay, and the Marina and our front door opens onto Water Street providing access to unique galleries, gift shops and restaurants all within walking distance of the PEI Crafts Council. With two floors of handmade craft, the retail gallery is a showcase of the finest examples of craft that Island artists have to offer, allowing visitors to see a wide range of local culture expressed through various mediums of craft. The upper level of the building is home to our working office space, as well as space for workshops and retail. Educational workshops and courses are designed to develop the industry of craft on Prince Edward Island. Courses are open to all who are interested in developing their craft business. A membership is not required to attend the courses. Workshops include an updated Business of Craft Course, Professional Development for Craftspeople, Product Photography for Craft, Branding, and social media for Craft, and more. Craft education courses include intermediate and advanced sessions in techniques for pottery, metals, glass, wood, and textile mediums, with both local and regional instructors leading the classes.
