We wanted to celebrate the birthday of the Crafts Study Centre by reflecting on its long history through the exhibition Moving Forward: The Crafts Study Centre at 50 and a special birthday lecture given by Alison Britton, Chair of the Crafts Study Centre.

However, as life today finds us, as with so many other cultural organisations, having to postpone our plans and events, we hope this message from the Chair, a short essay and accompanying images and a panorama of the exhibition Moving Forward will suffice until we are able to open our doors and resume our plans.
