“CAA’s charitable objectives are extended through retail operations.  CAA enables the appreciation and understanding of contemporary UK craft practice and the collecting of work made by both up and coming, and established makers.  Because CAA is a membership organisation, we take the risk out of purchasing by offering customers a quality seal of approval.

CAA’s 300 Members represent the top talent in the UK today working across the disciplines of ceramics, glass, textiles, jewellery, metal and wood, creating unique hand made functional and non-functional objects.  Members depend on sales for the support of their practices.  CAA contributes to the market place for craft securing continuity of Members’ businesses and building individual profiles through exposure and promotion.” - Contemporary Applied Arts
