Endangered Crafts

Some of the crafts on this page are practiced by fewer than ten people in Britain. Not because the skills aren't worth having, but because the economics never quite worked out, or the apprenticeships dried up, or the materials became harder to source. The Heritage Crafts Association tracks them on a Red List - critically endangered, endangered, or at risk. Every maker here is on that list. Their work is beautiful, but that's almost beside the point. What you're buying is continuity. Something that might not exist in twenty years if people like you don't choose it now.
