Sydney Craft Week Festival opens this week
For lovers of the handmade, Sydney is about to explode in a riot of events, workshops and exhibitions across 45 of its suburbs. Sydney Craft Week Festival 2022 is the first and only festival in Sydney dedicated to making by hand.
“This year’s festival focus is the climate emergency”, says Festival Director, Lisa Cahill. “This has been deeply felt across Greater Sydney and NSW again this year with incessant rain, and the resulting flooding and erosion, scarring the landscape and causing devastating loss of life, homes and livelihoods.
“The 2022 Sydney Craft Week Festival is focussed on how through sustainable making we can make a difference and how we, as humans, can do our utmost to protect the increasingly fragile environment.”
The Sydney Craft Week Festival begins on 7 October with 180+ events including 80+ workshops and 38+ exhibitions across 45 suburbs. The Festival runs October 7–16, 2022.
