What is Crafting Business?
Crafting Business is a professional practice training programme that was organised and delivered in 2020 and 2021 as part of the project. This programme aimed to share expertise and knowledge to support the business development of newcomers to the industry. Crafting Business focused on building business skills, generating revenue, and supporting marketing and promotion in craft micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By using the Crafting Business programme to learn about the fundamentals of business, new craft professionals can gain skills that will strengthen their business performance. In this online seminar, we aim not only to reflect on the programme to date, but to also inspire other craft professionals and makers to apply these tools to their own businesses.
