Spotted at GNCCF – Digital Award 2013

Here at Manchester Craft & Design Centre we have been spotting talent at regional and national shows since 2011. Our team of judges select makers and artists who we believe are the “ones to watch”, and potential future stars of the arts, craft and design scenes.

As a creative organisation, we are committed to the ongoing support and development of upcoming talent. For the very first time MCDC is delighted to be offering an exciting and innovative new prize exclusively for the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair 2013.
