Crafting Workshops
The CNE Crafting Workshops invited guests to roll up their sleeves and get creative through a variety of hands-on make-and-take activities. Offered daily, each interactive session gave participants the opportunity to create a unique keepsake while exploring different crafting techniques in a fun and welcoming environment.

The Canadian Society of Decorative Arts/Cercle des arts décoratifs (CSDA/CCAD) took over the CNE Crafting Workshops in collaboration with the Gardiner Museum, inviting guests to create their own hand-sculpted clay cow. This fun, hands-on activity encouraged creativity while introducing participants to the art of clay sculpting.
