HOT OFF THE PRESS - OUR HOTHOUSE 2017 MAKERS

Ones to watch

We’re delighted to announce the 35 maker businesses that have been selected for Hothouse 2017.

Hothouse is a creative and business development programme for up-and-coming makers. It has established itself as the gold-standard professional development programme over the last seven years.  Over the last six years more than 200 makers have benefitted from the programme with over 90% of makers saying it has enabled them to think differently about the direction of their career.

This year nine jewellers, six ceramists, six textile makers, three glass makers, and five furniture makers will go through the programme across the UK with Craft Scotland funding the places of makers living and working in Scotland.

So here they are ….
