The Design Trust helps people to start and grow their own professional contemporary crafts and design business.
We connect small design and crafts businesses with the best business advice, training and support, and ‘the market’ (on and off line, trade and consumer) to create a thriving design and crafts scene, both financially and culturally.
We are based in London in the UK, but have a strong international outlook.
