Bringing culture and craft together
The CraftHub Project
Craft Hub is a European project focused on Craft in the context of cultural heritage and its continuing relevance in contemporary practice.
The project activities involve investigating and documenting craft skills and processes, their differing application in creative practice across Europe, and questions of cultural specificity & individual motivations of practitioners.
Material Library
Craft Hub’s material library presents a growing collection of material samples that demonstrate the material effects achievable by different craft processes. The library also provides details about the processes used as well as the stories and culturally specific backgrounds of craft. We invite you to search the library, to learn about Craft, materials and making.
If you’d like to find out more, how you might get involved, or how you might commission a craft-maker, do contact us info@crafthub.eu
