IC:Innovative Craft

Welcome to IC:Innovative Craft, an Edinburgh-based organisation, which is creating a focus for celebrating excellence, imagination and new approaches to craft in Scotland and internationally.

We are a non-profit organisation working with artists, makers, curators and other arts organisations to research and develop a programme of exhibitions, talks and events and occasionally sponsor commissions which explore new ways of connecting people and objects and different ways of interpreting and evaluating the impact of that in the 21st century.

Since August 2008 we have been based in the Dovecot building in Edinburgh, and have generated or hosted an active programme of exhibitions working with a range of makers and partners including: the Jerwood Charitable Foundation; Ruthin Craft Centre, Wales; Craftspace Touring, Birmingham, and National Museums Scotland. Full details are on our events page.
