Abstract
Purpose: this paper assesses the effectiveness of a research and development programme on improving craft practice through the provision of mentoring by academic practitioners, studio space and advice on marketing techniques. Design/methodology/approach: following an initial focus group investigation of issues which impinge on contemporary craft practice, recipients of a bursary associated with the research and development programme were assessed with respect to how their craft and marketing competencies have developed. Findings: practitioners can now reflect on their skills, experiment with techniques and consider the effectiveness of their approach and attitude towards marketing. Research limitations/implications: the programme only extends to practitioners working with one art and design institution but has implications for those concerned with creative practice elsewhere. Practical implications: there is wider potential to reinvigorate artistic and marketing practice across the creative and cultural industries, and the small and medium enterprise community in general. Social implications: the role of the third level art and design institution extends into the social world through its ability to challenge existing practices and develop more creative and innovative alternatives. Originality/value: this is a novel programme which challenges experienced practitioners to extend their creative abilities in craft and approaches to marketing.
