Spent a lovely day yesterday with Bizz from The Heritage crafts crew https://heritagecrafts.org.uk/ talking about the future of Stained glass and other traditional skills, especially those that are on ‘The Red List’ This is a list of all of the viable, endangered, critically endangered and extinct Heritage crafts.

Stained glass got added to the endangered list in May ’23 and as a community we need to come together to work out ways of making this beautiful craft of working with light, line and colour, become once again a viable craft in the modern time. Keeping skills alive and continuing to be passed down through the generations is hugely important so they are not lost.

What would you do to to bring an old craft like this back into popular use? Suggestions on a postcard please!
