As part of the Cayman National Cultural Foundation (CNCF)’s Cayfest celebration, Café Cayman, an assortment of traditional arts and crafts, music and culinary treats delighted visitors to a cultural feast on to Goring Avenue in George Town on Thursday 21 April. 

Among those exhibiting their wares was Josie Solomon, who specializes in traditional quilt and rug-making, and Carmen Connolly, an expert in the traditional art of plaiting Silver Thatch.

There were also examples of traditional wooden crafts on sale, including a display of wooden spinning tops.
