Manchester Craft and Design Centre

At Manchester Craft and Design Centre, we are passionate about developing sustainable careers in craft, for emerging makers and established businesses.

Emerging Makers

Emerging Makers can fall into two main categories:

Graduates who have a lot of making and developing experience but have not necessarily worked in industry/ as a business before.

Late career makers who have maybe had another career/ business and are moving into a career in craft.

This programme is based on fundamental skills, answering frequently asked questions and developing confidence.

Mid-Career Makers

Mid-career makers have made a successful business of their career and are looking for ways to improve and develop.

This programme is based on challenging assumptions, offering opportunities to expand, and digital next steps.
