Collecting
Collecting is a hobby to some; to others it’s a serious, professional activity. But whatever the level of interest, it is something that is open to all – from small beginnings can evolve a passion lasting many years.
For advice on collecting and where to start looking for craft, talk to gallery owners, curators and other collectors to find out how, what and why they buy. Auction houses and craft fairs provide opportunities to view work and make contact with other collectors. For more guidance and information on buying and collecting, visit the links below.
