Craft Scotland is the national development agency for craft. We put makers at the heart of all we do, championing diverse and high-quality contemporary craft. We help people learn about, appreciate and buy craft, promoting the contribution of craft to Scotland’s cultural, economic and social well-being.
Through our events and exhibitions programme, learning programme, digital platforms and strategic partnerships, we provide leadership for the sector. We create opportunities for makers to develop their creative and business practice, and to exhibit and sell work in Scotland and beyond.
Our communications strategy and digital platforms are important in delivering the organisation’s aims and objectives and developing audiences for our varied programme. As part of the Communications & Digital team, this role will assist Craft Scotland in delivering results-orientated offline and online campaigns to increase engagement with our programme.
