About the craft making community

Discussion

Hi everyone,

My name is May Cheung and I am a 3rd fashion journalism student at London College of Fashion. I’m contacting you in regards to my final major project on exploring stories of independent craft makers. I am hoping if you guys could provide your opinion on the questions below, this would make a huge benefit for my project.

  1. How has the Internet shaped the UK craft making industry?

  2. Are there opportunities for independent craft makers to enter the professional field within their craft area?

  3. Are too many or too few young people entering this community in UK?

  4. Do you know any brand that started independently and has now enter the professional making industry?

  5. The craft making community has dramatically risen in the last decades, how has it changes the millennial?

  6. What developments on the horizon could affect the future of the craft making industry?

  7. My project will be an online publication that focuses stories of UK independent craft makers, to share skills and interest to inspire other makers and outsiders. Do you think this is realistic and achievable?

Thank you very much for your time. Hope you all have a fabulous day!
