Section 1: Introduction Clarion Events and Handmade in Britain have created CRAFT to provide a commercial platform for designer makers who wish to reach an audience of professional retailers and collectors. CRAFT is a new trade event for leading contemporary makers which will take place alongside Home and Top Drawer from the 11-13 January 2015 at Olympia, London. The Event The launch of CRAFT was in response to increasing demand from retailers searching for high quality products with provenance; items which are truly unique and original; objects with heart, soul and individuality. CRAFT is the place where professional buyers will discover just such products. CRAFT fills a gap in the UK market for a high quality, juried trade event which will enable leading Makers and Artisans to meet a substantial audience of international retailers, galleries, museums, professional buyers and collectors within a dedicated trade event in London. Location Located alongside Home and Top Drawer at Olympia, CRAFT is the most recent addition to Clarion’s rapidly growing portfolio of events. Housed in its own specially created space, CRAFT will be home to over 150 contemporary makers who will be carefully selected by the CRAFT advisory panel. The Team CRAFT is run for Clarion Events by Piyush Suri, Founder and Director of Handmade in Britain with close support from Ian Rudge, Brand Director at Clarion Events and Co-Founder of 100% Design and Tent London. Between them, Ian and Piyush have a wealth of contacts and experience within the world of Craft and events. Format In a prime location within a spacious environment, CRAFT will consist of affordable, custom designed, purpose built wooden shell-scheme stands in user-friendly configurations, complete with lighting and sufficient space to display work to its best effect. CRAFT exhibitors will also benefit from exhibitor work-shops and study days prior to the exhibition to assist makers with the process of developing trade contacts and income from trade sources. Visitors (See Fact Sheet for detailed data) 14,000 trade buyers regularly attend Home and Top Drawer at the busiest buying time of the commercial year. CRAFT will be marketed to and attract professional, international and UK trade buyers, retailers, independents, multiples, department stores, museums & galleries, interior designers and corporate and public sector buyers, specifiers and collectors. Section 2a: CRAFT 2014 The launch of CRAFT in January at Earls Court took place on the 12 – 14 January 2014 complimented by Top Drawer Spring and Home. Supported by Craft Magazine and Handmade in Britain it was a huge success and exceeded exhibitors, organisers and visitor expectations. With over 100 British and international makers there was a beautiful selection of work, from textiles, jewellery, glass to woodwork and ceramics. Feedback from our exhibitors has been very positive and encouraging and visitors where impressed with the high quality of work at the event. It was a superb show, the overall look and presentation was top quality and I was so proud to be involved. Many visitors to my stand also commented on the high standard and upbeat feeling in CRAFT ’14. -

Section 2b: CRAFT 2015 The success of the 2014 launch has been a huge success and from January 2015, CRAFT will take place in the magnificent central London location of Olympia. Olympia is situated in the heart of London, a venue full of character and charm. We will use the setting of the dramatic, light-filled venue, which is the perfect setting for high quality design led gifts, homewares and craft to create the UK’s best trade event – one that buyers and exhibitors alike will love; where it will be a pleasure to do business. CRAFT will once again be sat alongside Top Drawer and Home to create a 3-in-1 collection of shows which will be the UK’s most compelling and relevant design-led trade show; one that is meticulously curated and beautifully designed, with a unique character and appeal. Section 3: Application Guidelines Applications are invited from designer makers working in the following areas: fashion design & accessories, interior design & accessories, glass, jewellery, furniture, stationery, metalwork, ceramics, furniture, sculpture, woodwork, prints and etchings. The organisers seek to provide a balance of craft disciplines in order to provide the visitors with a broad range of work. The selection of exhibitors is principally based on the images supplied. Additional information provided on the application form may be used for press and publicity purposes once exhibitors have been selected. Around 150 designer makers will be selected for the event. There will also be a reserve list, should an exhibitor be unable to attend it will be filled from the reserve list. CRITERIA Makers must demonstrate a clear knowledge and understanding of the making process and provenance of materials used. The maker must have applied their craft skills directly in the creation of the work to be exhibited. They must have also given consideration to the commercial viability of the work, both in terms of its pricing and appeal to a retail audience. The panel will be looking for work with originality that makes a positive contribution to the show and which is from a category that is not already over-represented.
