TARIFFS UPDATE: Over the past year US tariffs on Canadian goods have moved from a looming worry to a daily reality for many people in our community. We have seen the impacts to makers and buyers first hand, and have put together an informative guide to use as a reference when navigating the tariffs.

The impacts don't fall in one place. They ripple through the whole community differently depending on where you sit. Craft Ontario will keep sharing resources as the situation develops.

If tariffs are affecting your work, we'd like to hear from you. Your experience helps us advocate on behalf of the whole sector.

The many small slices of crafting a material cosmology.

Working as a Nikkei artist with Japanese folk-heritage textiles and the plant knowledge carried alongside them, Hitoko Okada treats indigo, h**p, washi and gold not as inert materials but as ancestors with memory, moving through colonial rupture, industrial extraction and ecological collapse toward something still forming.

's solo exhibition, 'Cosmological Transformations' is now open in the Craft Ontario Gallery.
