Joining the Craft NI Directory
What is the Directory?
The Craft NI Maker Directory provides a contemporary online home for the Northern Ireland craft sector and a vibrant hub for all who wish to see, buy and learn about local craft.
It supports the Craft NI mission to build an integrated, entrepreneurial and vibrant contemporary crafts sector in Northern Ireland which we are doing via advocacy and profiling; developing partnerships and regional infrastructure; and raising quality awareness.
The Directory is easy to use, and is part of Craft NI’s attractive new website and brings in new technologies to help Makers connect with their audiences, customers and collectors more easily than ever before. Selected through a juried process, the Directory will enable makers from across disciplines to take their place in a rich and diverse representation of many of Northern Ireland’s talented makers who have achieved Excellence in Craft.
