Crafts Study Centre (CSC)

Description

The Crafts Study Centre (CSC) is a world-renowned crafts research hub and museum of modern and contemporary craft.

An invaluable resource centre for craft practitioners, historians and theorists, the CSC is home to a unique and internationally-acclaimed collection of 20th and 21st century British craft artefacts. The objects collections centre on the fields of calligraphy, ceramics, textiles, furniture and wood, and are accompanied by archives which include diaries, correspondence, photographs, catalogues and working notes from crafts practitioners and crafts organisations.

The CSC is also home to a library with an extensive collection of books and periodicals relating to craft, and a Research Room available by appointment for those interested in learning more about the collections.

The CSC hosts inspiring exhibitions of work from its own collections and by leading artist-makers, lectures, symposiums and open days. The CSC fosters scholarship and writing about modern and contemporary craft and publishes new books and monographs.
