Join the Directory now

The Crafts Council Directory is a searchable database of leading craft makers in the UK. Joining this network gives you access to the Crafts Council’s sizeable audience of buyers, collectors, craft enthusiasts and fellow makers.

The new-look directory is easy to use, with the ability to upload multiple projects, images, videos and documents. The tagging system enables browsers to search by discipline and location, and the Crafts Council editorial team run regular promotions of directory makers on our social media channels to help you gain visibility and reach a new audience.

For graduates, deprived of their final degree shows, we have a special offer of eight months free. Contact directory@craftscouncil.org.uk for more information.

The Crafts Council Directory is one of the most visited areas of our website, attracting 178,000 website visits in 2019. In addition members benefit from promotion across our social media channels, and it's the Crafts Council go-to for media referrals, maker case studies and opportunities.

Key benefits:

  • Reach a sizeable audience of craft collectors, buyers and enthusiasts - there were more than 500,000 visits across our website in 2019
  • Enjoy visibility and gain new followers through our regular promotion of directory members across our social media platforms (in excess of 400,000 followers across social)
  • Show your work in good company - the directory features almost 600 of the UK’s leading craft makers
  • Easy to set up, edit and amend

  • Save on Crafts Council products and services with discounts on Crafts magazine and member prices for events, seminars and one to one advice sessions
