Description
Craft Hub is a collaborative three-year project involving nine UK & EU partners including Craft Scotland, co-funded by Creative Europe.
Craft Hub aims to illustrate craft’s importance in our shared European cultural heritage, and its continuing relevance in contemporary practice. The three-year programme includes maker residencies, exhibitions, conferences, events and a new digital platform.
The Craft Hub website is dedicated to preserving craft knowledge, materials and processes for the good of the craft community and to inspire future generations. We are looking to showcase the breadth of Scotland’s disciplines and materials through the entries.
The Craft Hub Material Library is a collection of materials and techniques for all to explore. Makers will document a specific process through images, video and text, preserving craft knowledge across Europe for generations. Each participant will contribute six entries to the library.
This is a paid opportunity; each Contributor will be paid £150 (inc. VAT) for their contribution to the Craft Hub website (six entries to the Material Library and one profile on the Practitioners Library). This rate is in line with the Scottish Artist Union Rates of Pay 2022.
Once selected, Contributors will be supported by the Craft Scotland team to create their Craft Hub entries and provided with guides. This may include supporting you to think through what processes you would like to document and how to use your own existing audio and visual equipment to capture the process.
