The Crafts Council is launching a internet based scheme to show just how much support there is for contemporary craft based businesses like Florentine Designs, showing the best of UK hand-made designs. Spokeswomen Jill Read says; “we know that craft matters to thousands of people across the UK and we want to show this body of evidence rather than just dry statistics.”

The Craft Council is asking people to demonstrate their interest by signing up online prior to a press campaign. In the next few months the names of the people that sign up will be posted in the form of a graphic design to show this support.

To sign up go to www.craftscouncil.org.uk/craftmatters/ or you can read more about it here
