EUROPEAN EMERGING CRAFT PLATFORM

We are an international platform connecting 12 organisations from 12 European countries supporting new and emerging craft artists and practitioners, helping them collaborate, develop their skills, and promote their work nationally and internationally.

We encourage co-creation and the use of new technologies to innovate the craft industry, preserve its history, and shape its future. We also aim to engage marginalised communities and institutions to raise awareness of the needs of emerging craft artists and improve their representation in the sector.
