ABOUT US... |

The C&TA was established in 1989 and through our activities members work to raise the profile of the Norfolk Museums Service collection. More importantly over £120,000 of C&TA funds has enabled the Museums Service to enrich and expand their collections and further develop visitor facilities. |

We work collaboratively with many heritage and craft organisations to keep alive the skills and traditions of the textile industry today. We also seek to showcase the work of contemporary crafts people whose inspiration comes from our local heritage.
