We intend to position the UK as the global centre for the making, seeing and collecting of contemporary craft. Craft is a growing industry worth over £800 million and contributes to the UK's reputation as a world leader in creativity.
Our work:
We act as an exchange for knowledge of, support for and expertise on contemporary crafts.
* Growing the markets where craft is bought, sold and collected: We produce a programme of high-level events for makers to showcase and sell their work directly to the public.
* Professional support: We run schemes to support both emerging and established makers and curators, and create conferences and seminars to encourage debate and share best practice.
* Research, information and championing craft: We provide an information service for anyone interested in contemporary craft and we research, through partnership, the contemporary craft sector to provide a national and regional overview and to highlight current issues. We manage our own Collection of crafts objects and publish Crafts Magazine six times a year.
* Exhibitions, Awards and Craft in New Contexts: We stage high-quality exhibitions in national and regional museums and galleries, and create opportunities for people to see contemporary craft in a variety of contexts.
