About the Makers Survey
The Makers Survey ran from Monday 2 September to Monday 23 September 2024
The Makers Survey explored makers’ involvement in the craft community and what support they need to build successful craft practices.
The survey asked questions to understand makers' experience in accessing all the opportunities it takes to start and build a successful craft practice, from funding and education to selling and promoting their work. By doing this, we were able to see where makers may need our support in specific ways, and where we should focus our advocacy for them.
We invited everyone who identified as a maker of craft to complete the survey. From a hobbyist crafter looking to sell work, making some or all of their income from craft, or running an established craft business, we wanted to learn more about their needs and the incredible work they are doing.
