Our Philosophy
Our purpose is to unite, inspire and champion Scottish craft
Our vision is to be the world’s most inspirational creative organisation
Craft Scotland's core values underpin everything we do. They’re the reason we come to work in the morning.
We will champion quality. From marketing and copywriting to events and exhibitions, excellence is at the heart of what we do.
We will be brave. We have confidence in our professional expertise and in the worth of the craft sector. These convictions allow us to be bold in our marketing, innovative in our campaigns, and unafraid to challenge misconceptions about craft.
We will be creative. We want to inspire audiences, and can't do this through mediocrity. We want to create new craft fans, inspire new makers, and position Scotland at the forefront of a global craft revolution. Where innovation is required, we will provide it through creative thinking and strength of vision.
We will look forward. For the rich history of craft to be appreciated, we know we need to plan for the future. We will lobby for change, spot trends, embrace the emerging and think strategically.
We will act with integrity. From honesty in our professional dealings to open applications for exhibitions, we will act without bias. We represent all regions of Scotland, and all eligible craft disciplines, without exception.
