Working With

Business

Developing creative relationships with business through contemporary crafts

We work with business in bespoke partnerships that bring mutual benefits. 

We work closely with companies to devise projects that will enhance their brand and identity. A partnership with us enables a company to reach new customers for products and services.

We provide opportunities for staff to engage with creative processes.

We link business with artists to achieve social impact in the community.

We have recently been working with VSM UK Ltd. This partnership has been award winning and extremely rewarding. The relationship has continued to develop through new projects in 2008.

Craftspace is remarkably easy to work with.  They worked hard at understanding our business, then tailor-made the project to maximise benefits for all involved. We gained far more than we expected.  By introducing alternative ways of looking at our own skills, we have developed in totally new ways.

Associating arts products and the social benefits of the arts with our brand values has enabled us to position ourselves more uniquely within our market and create a distinct selling point which customers and staff are responding to positively.
