Craft: an essential luxury? Debate at the London Design Festival.  Hochhauser Auditorium, Sackler Centre at the V&A.  Friday 25th September 2009.  

Can craft be revitalised? Can craft businesses not only survive but thrive?

Traditional craft skills are in decline in today’s mass market economy. Despite this trend, superior craftsmanship remains a marker of quality and distinctiveness and an expression of cultural heritage.

Join leaders from luxury brands, craft makers and the media for a debate exploring the future of craft.
