Call for Partners

Whilst we see makers at the heart of Crafts Council Collective we are very aware that we can't reach them alone. To enable a greater number of makers to access support we will work with a wide range of partners throughout the UK. We recognise that there are other exemplar schemes providing CPD or networking opportunities. These are often regional or locally focussed. Together we can provide a national approach.

The Crafts Council is now seeking proposals from partners for the full programme of Craft Rally and Hothouse
Different approaches to partnership will be shared by the selection of the partner and what resources they have in place. Partners may work as part of a consortium and interested groups are encouraged to apply.

Crafts Council Collective provides partners with:

• -partnership and collaboration opportunities with the Crafts Council
• -potential for consortia working with partners including the Crafts Council
• -potential for maximising funding and skills knowledge with the Crafts Council
• -the opportunity to develop models of aspirational practice
• -the opportunity to develop quality benchmarks for the sector
• -national profile
