We understand that most of our members have to make a living from their craft and need to produce functional pieces that sell more easily than the artistic side of their practice.
If this sounds true for your practice we would still love you to be a member. Contemporary craftworks is a way for you to exhibit non-functional art pieces and for the world to see. It doesn’t matter if it is one piece a decade or one a day, we aim to allow the creative artistic side of your work be allowed to shine.
We just won’t promote your more functional/commercial pieces on Instagram and other platforms, but we will definitely show the work you make that fits with our ethos.
It is a really good idea to check out our mission statement to make sure that membership is the right thing for you.
Intention - Contemporary Craftworks champions artists who combine time-honoured craft techniques with a contemporary sensibility to produce distinctive wall art and sculpture. The organisation promotes artistic excellence, fosters creative exchange, and cultivates public engagement with craft as a vital, evolving form of contemporary art.
** Highlighting modern makers who transform traditional craft into
contemporary art. **
Please just make sure that it is your art pieces that you apply with as we hate sending 'no' emails.
We love promoting the art side of traditional crafts, you and your work.
