As Craft Ontario turns 50 this year, we are marking the milestone with a move that sets up our next chapter: a new home at 401 Richmond Street West, opening August 2027! This transition is, in many ways, a living expression of the theme of Resilience in Craft. We are entering our next 50 years with clearer focus, and with honest work still ahead.
April 25 - May 31, 2026
Cycles, as an intuitive emergence within natural ecosystems, has been a guiding presence in Seden Lai's paper practice. Flora, from bloom to decay and in their dialogue with the world, is a wonderful example of cyclical returns. Her works grasp toward this same approach to visual rhythm via craft processes using iteration and repetitive gestures like folding, pleating, and hammering.
Over the past decade, professional luthier and woodworker Mohammad Taheri has developed a new technique for crafting the structure of the tar and setar, innovating their sound and marking an entirely new era for Iranian music.
