Craft council report 2012

Economics as well as Environmental effects and concerns are changing Contemporary crafts.

Crafters are becoming aware of the effects of there practice on the environment and so they are sourcing materials more locally and using recyclable/sustainable and environmental friendly materials,,
and where possible  have changed there making processes.

The income of makers has declined but this may be due to the makers cutting back on hours due to the economic difficulties within the country.

as technology becomes more advanced crafters are expected to collaborative more  rather than stay as independent workers.
