About Crafts Council

The Crafts Council is the national agency for promoting and supporting contemporary craft in the UK. Established in 1971, it plays a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the craft sector through various initiatives and programs.

Our mission is to inspire and engage people with the world of craft, showcasing the incredible talent of makers across the country. We believe that craft has the power to enrich lives, stimulate creativity, and contribute to the economy.

Through exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, we aim to connect artists, designers, and the public, creating a vibrant community around craft. Our Crafts Magazine serves as a platform for sharing stories, insights, and trends within the craft industry.

  • Support for Makers: We provide resources and support for artisans, helping them to develop their skills and grow their businesses.
  • Advocacy: The Crafts Council advocates for the importance of craft in education and society, ensuring that it receives the recognition it deserves.
  • Research and Development: We conduct research to understand the craft sector better and to inform our strategies and initiatives.

With a dedicated team and a network of partners, the Crafts Council is committed to nurturing the future of craft in the UK. We invite everyone to explore the diverse world of craft and discover the joy of making.
