In Business
Business training and support
Craft Central runs practical and insightful business training programmes for designers and makers that really make a difference. Training is run by consultants who know the business of craft and design inside-out, and can pass on their knowledge in a variety of ways – one to one surgeries, small group workshops and mentoring.
Whether thinking about setting up, new into business or more established, makers’ at all stages of their development need to give constant attention to their business in order to stay robust and profitable. Craft Central is continually developing new and relevant programmes to help makers increase chances of long-term success and personal fulfilment whatever stage they are at in their careers.
