Be Curious with Us…

support our work by giving a donation to Craftspace

With your support we can continue to deliver extraordinary encounters with craft and invest in talented makers who reveal the breadth of possibilities for contemporary making.

As a supporter you will be joining others who value the impact and importance of craft and making to the richness of cultural life, to personal and social well-being and economic resilience and innovation.  We raise our income from public grants including the Arts Council of England and private Trusts & Foundations.  We earn income from the knowledge and experience we have developed and from donations from individuals who want to see the impact of our work continue.

For a limited time your donation can be matched, pound for pound.

Catalyst Evolve, an Arts Council national fundraising capacity building and match funding scheme
Craftspace is part of Catalyst Evolve programme funded by Arts Council England. This means all donations from private sources will be matched pound for pound up to a target of £50,000 to be reached by 2019. This is a unique opportunity for donors to help Craftspace unlock additional funds to develop and deliver its programmes for talent development and community engagement into the future.
