Craftlinks is a search engine for crafts of all kinds in Britain. If you’re looking for something special or specific, or seeking ideas for your own crafting, give it a try.
You can also take the “grand tour” which shows snatches of information about the many sites listed.
Craftlinks says of itself :
CraftLinks.co.uk has become one of the largest sources of information in the UK for handmade goods, crafts materials, groups and courses. The Directory currently features 47 crafts (e.g. Scrapbooking) represented in 5 categories (e.g Suppliers). There are over 2000 UK craft websites listed with new sites being listed daily.
This is a very interesting portal approach to aggregating lots of sites dedicated to crafting.
