wHAT IS caftcademy?

CAFTCADEMY is the collective of all courses and training offered by CAFTCAD.  As part of our mission as an organization, we aim to enhance the community of costume artists and designers in Canada, including both our members and the wider costume arts community.

Courses offered by CAFTCAD range from CAFTCADEMY 101, a full weekend course for those new to the industry, providing detail on each role within the costume department in film and television, to master's classes that teach participants advanced costume skills they can apply when working on a production.
