We are excited to announce Crossing Crafts, a new collaboration between the Society of Designer Craftsmen and the Suffolk Craft Society.
Inspired by the Pairings projects led by Alice Kettle, this initiative brings makers together across different disciplines to share skills, spark ideas, and explore new approaches to their work.
The resulting work and experiences will be showcased at the Suffolk Craft Society Summer Exhibition at Ickworth and the Society of Designer Craftsmen Annual Showcase in 2026, we look forward to sharing the results of these creative conversations.
