Formerly the Ontario Crafts Council, Craft Ontario is a not-for-profit service organization that works to have craft recognized as a valuable part of life. We promote and celebrate professional craft through providing member opportunities, and advocate for craft practice by educating and empowering diverse audiences.
CRAFT AWARDS celebrate and recognize excellence, and since 1981 the program has supported over 500 emerging to established craft professionals in all disciplines. We invite you to take a closer look at the outstanding work of the 2021 Craft Awards recipients below, as well as find out more about their perspectives and processes.
We couldn’t make the Craft Awards program possible without the support of so many generous donors and contributors, and we extend our deepest thanks to the following organizations and people: The Copeland, Gregor, Mather, McPherson, Shanks, Walker, and Yung families, as well as FUSION: Ontario Clay and Glass, Noble Crafthouse, The Pottery Supply House, Tuckers Pottery Supplies Ltd., and Lacy West Supplies Ltd.
Special thanks to this year's jurors: Jerre Davidson, Jeremy Gawen, Joon Hee Kim, Pasha Moezzi, and Yasmine Louis.
