Description/Abstract:

This research, funded by the Radcliffe Trust and done on behalf of the Heritage Crafts Association (HCA), is the first of its kind in the UK. It set out to assess the current viability of every heritage craft taking place in the UK today and to identify those most at risk of disappearing. It drew on methodologies used by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Endangered Species, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s Watch List, and Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register. The research covered 169 crafts and identified four as having become extinct in the past ten years, seventeen as critically endangered, and 45 as endangered. The research also highlighted the key issues affecting the future sustainability of the crafts, and made recommendations as to how to support them in the future.
