An exciting time of year is upon us, as our New Maker applications are now open!

CAA has been championing the very best of British applied arts since 1948, and we are growing our community of talented artists to continue to build our legacy of quality and innovation. We are proud to have exhibited many pioneering makers in the applied arts, and are motivated by an ongoing commitment to supporting the careers of craftspeople. You can find more about our history here.

If you are based in the UK and a professional maker in the disciplines of Metal, Paper, Wood, Furniture, Textiles, Glass, Jewellery, Ceramics or Stone, we would love to hear from you.

You can find the online application form and further information on eligibility and the selection process on our website.
