This programme introduced the Digital Craft Toolkit, a set of bite-sized exercises to help craft makers and designers plan for the future and grow their business. Hosted by Catama, Crafting Business workshops will be co-facilitated by 4 highly-experienced craft mentors.
The Crafting Business training sessions use British Council’s Digital Craft Toolkit as a framework to explore craft business and creative development. Participants will be guided through the online toolkit during workshops led by the Catama team and our invited creative mentors.
