Crafts Study Centre
England’s museum of modern crafts, the Crafts Study Centre, is located next to the entrance of the University for the Creative Arts at Farnham and its Foyer/James Hockey Galleries.
The Crafts Study Centre enjoys an international reputation as a unique collection and archive of 20th century and contemporary crafts. Its collection embraces ceramics, textiles, calligraphy, wood objects, furniture, jewellery and metalwork accompanied by makers' diaries, working notes and photographs. Much of the collection has been built up from donations and bequests and includes work by such influential figures as Bernard Leach, Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Ethel Mairet,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Archives Hub )〕 Phyllis Barron, Edward Johnston and Ernest Gimson.
==History==
The Centre was established in 1970 when a small group of crafts makers and educators agreed it was vital to preserve and celebrate the best British crafts of the 20th century. The decision to establish the Crafts Study Centre led to a successful partnership with the University of Bath which in 1977 housed its collections at the city’s Holburne Museum of Art.
In 2000 the Crafts Study Centre, a registered charity, relocated to Surrey to accept the generous offer of the University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham to construct a new purpose-built space. In June 2004 the Centre opened in an elegant new three-story building located next to the entrance of the University College’s Farnham campus. The light and airy space features two exhibition galleries, a lobby and retail area, secure store for the collection and archive, and a library/research room which is available to the public by appointment. In its new location, the Centre is England’s first purpose-built museum for a craft collection.
