Welcome to craft&design, a hub of creative resources, information and inspiration, here online and also in our bi-monthly printed magazine.

This year we’re proud to be celebrating 30 years of publishing our magazine and it’s our website’s 15th birthday as well - we’ve been promoting and supporting the very best in British craft and design for three decades!

We’d like you to share our celebrations too, so we’re giving away 30 of something different in each issue of the magazine during 2013 - read your magazines closely to find out what!

We’re thrilled to have been able to chat with Emma Bridgewater recently - you can read what she has to say about turning a creative idea into a business in our May/June magazine - which, with more pages than ever, is brimming with ideas & inspiration and sound business tips.

Selected Awards 2013

The waiting is over, here they are, our craft&design Selected Award Winners for 2013, including our Maker of the Year, the Gold Award Winner who polled the most votes - our Specialist Judges had some lovely things to say about them all. 

Many congratulations to our Winners and Finalists, this year's online voters had well over 1,100 designer makers to choose from, so it's an amazing achievement for them all.

Huge thanks to the thousands of people who voted, none of this could have happened without you! And a very special thank you to our lovely judges who all did a wonderful job!
