Arts and Craft Trade Directory for KZN

The Department of Economic Development in KwaZulu-Natal in partnership with the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) has recently produced a comprehensive and beautifully designed KZN Arts and Craft Trade Directory.

I saw it at Tradepoint Durban in the Resource Room and judging from the response from the crafters, artists and people who do business in this field, the new KZN Arts and Craft Directory is already a great success.

Networking and resources is one of their biggest obstacles, and this Directory has a detailed, well directory of companies and organizations working in the field of arts and craft.

The Master Crafters' Section can do with a bit of beefing up for the next issue - I think the art dealers should be put in a separate section.

But overall, the relevant authorities must be applauded for a very handy, and well produced workbook for the arts and craft industry.
