Society Of Designer Craftsmen
The Society of Designer Craftsmen was founded in 1888 as the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, under the chairmanship of Walter Crane with other major designer-craftsmen, and with William Morris as one of its leading members. The purpose was to give a voice to, and to organise exhibitions for, the growing body of designer-makers.
The Society is the largest and oldest multi-craft society in Britain. The work of members ranges across all the craft disciplines. The aim of the Society is to emphasise designer-making where innovation, orginiality and quality are paramount.
