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.
craft&design… a Showcase for British Crafts
The feeling in the industry is that things are on the up for our UK designer makers and we echo this in our latest issue – we talk with Stained Glass Artist, Amanda Winfield who appeared with Kirstie Allsopp in her Channel 4 series, Kirstie’s Homemade Home; we discover more about Design Factory and the unique support it gives to makers in the East Midlands; and the North Yorkshire Stately Home of Newby Hall has set a great example by “chucking out the tat” to stock its shop with work by some of our top designer makers.
It’s a Summer of Ceramics with Potfest and Art in Clay, and before that, in July, a spectacular Ceramics Tent at Art in Action. But all is not lost if you can’t manage to visit the shows, we’ve a fine selection of Ceramics and Pottery to tempt you in our latest magazine, as well as some stunning Jewellery, Glass, Sculpture, Stonemasonry, Furniture and Textiles.
And when you’ve seen all we have to show you about crafts in the UK – Craft Fairs, Exhibitions and Open Studios - we hope you’ll enjoy travelling with us to India, Italy and France for inspiration!
May I congratulate you and your team for the high quality achieved in your new look magazine. Every aspect of it looks very attractive and very readable. I think its going to educate, inform and generally make crafts more accessible to a much wider audience.
