Calling all #makers! Share your opinion in the Crafts Council UK’s Makers Survey and support their research. The survey explores makers’ involvement in the craft community and what support they need to build successful practices. Closes Monday 23 Sep! craftscouncil.org.uk/stories/crafts…

My background in the creative industries helped me find a diverse range of Black Artisans. A new addition to The Black Artisans is Judith Annakie-Eriksen, who transitioned from PR to ceramics. She discusses her latest pieces here: video.wixstatic.com/video/65317d_5… Jo at To Market

I wanted to highlight Black Artisans in cultural fields, like steel pan makers. Their skills are globally recognized yet often go unrepresented. Dudley Dickson & Toussaint Clarke are pioneers in their field. Learn more here: steelpantuners.com The Black Artisans Jo at To Market

Seeing the artisans’ workshops has been a project highlight—some bespoke, some makeshift. Jeweller Angela Benjamin’s cosy ‘she studio’ is where she creates unique pieces and shares her journey. More here: theblackartisans.org/about-5-1

Many artisans I photographed were based outside London. Adaesi Ukairo for example, works in Hastings, shaping copper & brass into fluid sculptures. She’ll be leading a The Black Artisans workshop on Oct 6th at Haworth Art Gallery. See her work: ukairo.com Jo at To Market

Photographing Carla Sealey in her new Bedfordshire studio was a highlight of my The Black Artisans project. Carla works with both handbuilding & slip casting techniques, creating pieces with natural, textured finishes. Jo at To Market

The Black Artisans project continues to grow, shedding light on the incredible work of Black craftspeople. Follow the journey as we give these talented artisans the visibility and recognition they deserve. The Black Artisans Events at Haworth Art Gallery: creativelancashire.org/posts/celebrat…
