Admission Crafts Council Nederland to World Crafts Council

In June 2014 Crafts Council Nederland was in Bergen, Norway. We were one of the 35 partners who were invited by the Norwegian Crafts Executive Director and Vice President of the World Crafts Council – Europe (WCC-E): Trude Gomnæs Ugelstad. Norwegian Crafts hosted the General Assembly of the WWC-E and various networking events, where participants from all continents met.

There was also an inspiring tour of craftsmen, artists and institutions in Bergen. The purpose of the event was to illustrate different perspectives on the potential of crafts and the current global and local challenges that are involved. But the most memorable event was that Crafts Council Nederland was officially admitted to the World Crafts Council! We bring the Dutch crafts across the border.
