Welcome to the Nova Scotia Centre for Craft and Design. The NSCCD is located in downtown Halifax. The Nova Scotia Centre for Craft and Design, now under the direction of the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council, has five well-equipped studios in pottery, jewellery and metal, woodworking, textiles, and multi-purpose where courses are offered to the public in spring, summer fall and winter semesters. Qualified crafts people are welcome to rent (PDF) our studios on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. Also housed within the Centre is the Mary E. Black Gallery, Nova Scotia's only public gallery with a fine craft mandate, hosting local, regional, national and international fine craft exhibitions year round.
