Selected for Crafts Council directory

January 18, 2023

Crafts Council Directory member profile page of Dorset bookbinder Susan Green of BOUND

The Crafts Council - for leading British contemporary craft makers.

Red and black leather book handmade by Crafts Council Directory member bookbinder Susan Green of BOUND

I'm delighted to announce my selection for the Crafts Council directory. You can now find my work in their searchable database of leading British craft makers, an online resource I encourage you to explore.

The Crafts Council is for everyone interested in craft.

The Crafts Council is probably most well known as the organiser of Collect international craft and design fair held at Somerset House, London.

Importantly, the Crafts Council also holds the national collection of contemporary craft, including a handling collection, library and archive. Begun in 1972, the collection includes objects from across all craft disciplines. New items enrich the collection and reflect contemporary practice thanks to an active acquisitions programme.

It also publishes Crafts magazine, copies of which I love to read on tea breaks in my bookbinding studio. Fellow makers and creatives will find their Maker Newsletter invaluable, and also their blog which is packed with inspirational features, such as 12 of the best craft books out this year. Plus, the What's On section of their website has listings for in-person and online craft events, exhibitions, talks and workshops.

Crafts magazine Autumn / Winter 2022
In good company

I'm thrilled to be part of the Crafts Council maker community and to showcase my work with the highy esteemed national development agency for contemporary craft in the UK. The Council is committed to empowering makers and craft businesses through learning and development, believing that:

"craft skills and knowledge enrich and uplift us as individuals, and in doing so, will change our world for the better".
