Attention all knitters, crocheters, snowshoe makers, people who know traditional recipes, and anyone who makes, crafts, or creates objects - Heritage NL is looking for you! Organized as part of the Humber Valley Thriving Regions project, the Humber Valley Skills Inventory will identify existing knowledge holders in the area, including craft producers, bakers, farmers, foragers, brewers, printmakers, fly tyers, beekeepers, cooks, artists, antler carvers, and makers of all kinds.  

We are looking for anyone with skills and knowledge about the making of everyday objects, skills, art, and crafts from these communities: Steady Brook, Little Rapids, Humber Village, Humber Valley Resort, Pasadena, Pynn’s Brook, Little Harbour, St. Judes, Deer Lake, Reidville, Cormack, and Howley.

The end product will be a publicly-available listing of local skills holders. For examples see:
