Are you a craftsperson with a workshop with a difference?
May 21, 2012
Press enquiry: Any craftspeople out there think they fit the bill? Get in contact to info@heritagecrafts.org.uk if you do! We have been approached by a journalist who is looking to write something on:
Are you a craftsperson with a workshop with a difference?
Looking for inspirational artists/craftspeople to feature who currently work from a RURAL studio with a difference – perhaps it’s in a caravan, on board a boat or canal barge, or in a converted stable block (note, it needs to be more unusual than a garden shed). Particularly makers who have perhaps started focusing on their craft within the last few years, maybe the result of a career change (following redundancy?), a bereavement, illness, or other change of circumstances.
Do you hand-made or produce musical instruments or sports equipment?
Looking for craftspeople, who celebrate traditional rural crafts and make – ideally by hand – musical instruments (pianos, violins, recorders etc) or sports equipment (wooden tennis racquets, crickets balls etc). Particularly people who have either started making these as a recent change of direction or who have perhaps taken on a family-run business. The piece will be a celebration of traditional practices and rural living so please, no big town/city-based craftspeople, please.
