The Malta Crafts Foundation attended the WCCE General Assembly and Annual Conference held in Barcelona, Spain, this year under the theme “The State of Crafts” and with the aim of planning the strategic direction for the crafts sector in the coming years. Particular focus was given to sustainability and innovation as two of the most important priorities for the sector.
While attending the Conference, participating delegates also had the opportunity to visit the Soul + Matter Exhibition, a showcase of a selection of artisan pieces that had also been exhibited during the South Korea Craft Biennale; as well as the Sagrada Familia, one of the most iconic landmarks of Barcelona and a perfect example of how different artisans from all around the world can come together to collaborate on the creation of a masterpiece.
