Lunenburg Seaside Craft School offers week-long and weekend workshops in traditional crafts for adults and young people during July and August. Taught by Nova Scotia's leading artisans, workshops include Tile-making, Quilting, Rug Hooking, Dyeing for Fiber Artists, Clay Work, Studio and Plein Air Painting, Floor Cloths, Basketry, and more.

Workshops of five-days length offer experienced craftpersons the opportunity for stimulation among a group of their peers while exploring new directions under the leadership of an artisan teacher.

Under the banner of our new "Weekend Sampler" program, two- or three-day workshops present projects specifically designed to introduce beginners to the skills and possibilities of a traditional craft or painting medium.

Week-long youth programs, also new to our program this year, are designed to provide young people with an opportunity for creative exploration and experience in a non-competitive, friendly atmosphere.

Classes are held at the historic Newtown School, now used for high school classes in Home Economics and Industrial Arts. The location offers the nearby enjoyment of the village and waterfront which have made Lunenburg one of Atlantic Canada’s most popular destinations.

We invite you to take a moment to browse through our program for next summer. Some of the most enjoyable experiences in life come from experiencing something new.

We look forward to meeting you!

Our students say it best...

"This has been a great experience and I loved every moment. The surroundings are magnificent."
