CAA aims to champion the applied arts in Britain and develop and encouraage the public's enjoyment and understanding of the working with materials. We do so by increasing access to craft and our many talented Makers from across disciplines. We work with audiences who might not otherwise engage with craft, organising dedicated programmes which foster discussion and active participation with materials, technique and skill.
We are proud to have both Makers and enthusiasts volunteer in the gallery. Our valued volunteers facilitate an informal environment of mutual learning, support and inclusion.
We also host events with explicit educational aims, from ‘Meet the Maker’ events to workshops with local children that coincide with exhibitions in the gallery. Through our development and mentorship programmes we are able to support the early careers of emerging artists making innovative use of materials in order to build the next generation of applied artists in Britain.
