Crafting Sustainability is a two-day conference taking place this weekend, March 14-15, that will bring together makers, researchers, educators, and students to explore the pairing of craft and sustainable practice.

The conference is organized by Craft Ontario as well as the Material Art and Design Department at OCAD University, and is sponsored, in part, by Haliburton School of The Arts.

Crafting Sustainability offers a platform for assessing the role of craft in fostering new paradigms for production and consumption. Idea exchange and debate will be framed by questions that address what it means to be a responsible maker in a contemporary context.

The conference will take place at OCAD University, located in the Auditorium at 100 MCaul St. in Toronto.
