Here are a few of the exciting events coming up at the Saskatchewan Craft Council. For more information on SCC events such as upcoming exhibitions at the Affinity Gallery, select from the left hand side menu.

But Craft in Saskatchewan is about much more than the SCC itself. Our members, along with a host of other Craft and Arts related organizations, offer dozens of events every year.

One other thing - if you are organizing a craft related event, please be sure to let us help you publicize it. If you send the information about it to colin@integrityimages.ca or scc.editor@sasktel.net. We’ll post information about your event on our website, and include it on our electronic newsletter.
