Support for Makers

There is a whole range of information in opportunities & training about residencies, grants, awards, talks, conferences, workshops and exhibitions.

If you want to find out more about how these experiences could change your work, or for general advice on selling, marketing, approaching galleries, then visit our business advice section.   Our business factsheets offer practical advice.

If you would like to speak to other people working in your discipline and become involved in joint exhibitions then look at our directory of craft organisations.

Every maker and craft outlet in Scotland can register for their own free listing on the craftscotland directory to promote their business. Find out how to join the directory.

Signup for our free craftscotland email list to receive monthly bulletins on Scottish crafts news and features, events, opportunities and training.

The bulletin board provides a place for advertising studio space, equipment and other requests.

In the Discussion Forum we encourage everyone involved in Scottish crafts to network and debate: share resources, experiences, ideas and opinions, discuss site editorial and seek advice.

We can also provide you with instant updates when new items are added to the craftscotland website by RSS. Learn more about RSS. Crafts Events. Crafts News. Opportunities and Training.
