Heritage Crafts Association and the Sussex Heritage Trust working together to save endangered heritage crafts from extinction

Heritage Crafts and the Sussex Heritage Trust are delighted to announce that they are working in partnership to provide Sussex-based applicants with grants of up to £2,000 to help save endangered crafts such as brick making, masonry flint knapping and hurdle making from extinction.

Recently, Sussex-based Deborah Bowness (pictured) completed one-to-one training with a wallpaper conservationist to learn traditional wallpaper making techniques.  This was funded through the Endangered Crafts Fund which offers ring-fenced grants to Sussex-based practitioners of endangered crafts listed on the Red list of Endangered Crafts.

The deadline for applications is 3rd March 2023.  For futher information please click here or email mary@heritagecrafts.org.uk to talk over your project idea.

The Endangered Crafts Fund for Sussex is kindly funded by The Ian Foulerton Charitable Trust.
