Making a Difference - the longer term impact of Craft Scotland's international exhibition programme on a maker's career and Scotland's creative econom

成功的候选人将调查创意经济，以及苏格兰手工艺国家发展机构Craft Scotland对制造商实践的影响。它将调查苏格兰工艺品国际展览计划对制造商职业生涯和苏格兰创意经济的较长期影响。该计划包括在苏格兰、伦敦和美国举行的展示会、零售展和贸易展。该项目将超越从这些活动中收集的即时快照反馈，提供对这些活动对艺术家创造力和商业实践发展的影响的纵向分析。它还将考虑制造商如何建立成功和可持续的业务，这些业务为手工艺行业增加价值，并为更广泛的经济做出贡献。

The successful candidate will investigate the creative economies and the impact which Craft Scotland, Scotland's national development agency for craft, has on makers' practices. It will investigate the longer-term impact of Craft Scotland's international exhibition programme, which includes showcases, retail and trade shows in Scotland, London and the US, on a maker's career and Scotland's creative economy. The project will extend beyond the immediate snapshot feedback collated from these events to offer a longitudinal analysis of their impact on the development of artists' creative and business practices. It will also consider how makers build successful and sustainable businesses, which add value to the craft sector and contribute to the wider economy.
