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.

in the rain incendiary,
