HCA survey of craftspeople

In December 2009, the HCA posted a survey for traditional craftspeople. It was publicised specifically to craftspeople who had already shown support for the HCA, as well as more publicly on the HCA website and other websites. The survey closed on 28 February 2010 with 206 respondents.

One of the most interesting outcomes of the survey was that 53 per cent of respondents stated that they believed that skills within their craft were in danger of dying out.
