Aims and Values
The Crafts Council believe that craft plays a dynamic and vigorous role in the UK’s social, economic and cultural life and that its strength lies in its use of both traditional and contemporary techniques, ideas and materials.
It aims to position the UK as the best place to make, see, collect and learn about contemporary craft by building a strong economy and infrastructure for contemporary craft, increasing and diversifying the audience for contemporary craft and championing high quality British contemporary craft both nationally and internationally.

Famous quotes containing the words aims and/or values:
“The aims of life are the best defense against death.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
