craft&design is an exciting and vibrant magazine all about British Crafts, with 100 pages of up to the minute features and down to earth information. Developed from Craftsman Magazine and now in its 25th year, craft&design is published by a small family business run by Angie & Paul Boyer. They have worked the UK craft industry since 1981 and have a wealth of knowledge as publishers, designers, makers and event organisers. More than anything, they have a sincere passion to help people working in crafts to earn a living from their skills – be it makers, gallery owners, designers, exhibition and event organisers. craft&design magazine is a must for people interested or involved in British Crafts - each colourful issue is sounding the trumpet for British makers!
There's lots of information here on the craft&design website as well; find out about Craft Events & Exhibitions near you; discover more about Craft Galleries, where they are and what they sell; click on our Craft Supplies Directory for materials & equipment; take a creative break at Craft Courses & Workshops; and if you're a maker and fancy meeting other like-minded craftspeople, go to our Guilds page for lots of contacts.
The current issue is our biggest issue ever with 116 full colour pages packed with inspiration and information about UK Crafts!
We go talent spotting at New Designers; take a peek at Design Edge, Origin, Farnham and Goldsmiths’; present Awards at Art in Clay and Potfest, visit the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park, and announce our Sponsorship of the People’s Prize at this year’s British Glass Biennale.
We find out about Artists in Residence and Apprenticeships for Furniture Makers; and with the theme of Textiles & Needlecrafts in mind, ask Contemporary Textile Artists Ruth Lee, Wendy Hughes and Pat Robson ‘What Defines Textiles?’.
And there’s some fabulous work featured, too - the brilliant Wildlife Sculptures of Jeremy James; Award Winning work straight from the Newcomers Gallery at bctf 2008 by Glass Artist Desiree Hope and Jeweller Carrie Ann Black; Contemporary Textiles from Poppy Treffry... and a fantastic selection of inspiring work in the popular Makers Gallery pages.
The extra bonus in this issue is the detailed Guide to UK Craft Galleries, with lots of really useful information for makers and buyers about some of the top Craft Galleries in the UK - what they sell, how they buy, how to contact them.
craft&design has more information about the British craft industry than any other UK magazine. For 25 years we have helped people to make a success of their craft business; be they makers, gallery owners, event organisers, suppliers, courses & workshop organisers... just click on the front cover image (top left) for all the details.
