Aged 16 – 25 and interested in craft and making?Join the Crafts Council at our next meeting where we'll be joined by AOC Architecture. We want to transform the ground floor of our building in Angel into a permanent home for craft and we want to know what you think about the plans.

This new network of Londoners aged 16-25 brings together those who are passionate about craft and making to co-produce projects and events with us at the Crafts Council, and in doing so help shape the future of craft in the UK.
