Today I thought I’d share a few of my favourite things here at Handmade in Britain - and it’s the last day so today’s the day to come visit or shout and I can post the links of some of the makers I’ve showcased.

At the show there are certain groups, collectives from the craft industry that walk around and award certain accolades to the craftsperson they deem to be worthy and it got me thinking.in my 4yrs at this event or any of the craft events that I have done I have never spoken to a person with a “clipboard” and so then this led me on to the term sustainability.

Often used within the fashion world to talk about clothing but beyond that it has a far bigger reach - Sustainability is in itself an all encompassing word and especially so within the craft industry.

These people with clipboards that offer importance and recognition are themselves or should be considering sustainability and what it looks like for them and the industry they claim to represent.

By keeping their little tick boxes in place are they themselves keeping the lid on these creatives, urging them to keep producing the same things or variations on the same, of the same, to enable those boxes to remain in play and the knock on is that - the event stays the same and the public get tired and bored of seeing the same old same old, the crowds get less the spend even more so and slowly but surely these events become like tumbleweed.

Does the event and it’s promotors need to look at its own sustainability and what it means to them, what encouragement it’s offering to its talented makers, how it can best represent them in this ever tightening industry / market place and it can move forward and be itself sustainable.

Does it need to stop inviting these clipboards in or better yet think outside the box and invite a more progressive clipboard - encourage those that strike for recognition to lift the lid and be creative to show the paying public what the future of the craft industry can look like …? I mean it’s just a thought……

Sustainability…. Now there’s a word
