Want to shape the future of traditional craft skills?

With generous support from The Balvenie, the Heritage Crafts Association has organised a Skills Forum on 11 May 2011 at Chelsea College of Art and Design, London. It is free to attend and the afternoon will include:

  • Keynote speech by Jo Reilly, Heritage Lottery Fund
  • Discussions facilitated by Hilary Jennings, Crafts Consultant
  • Summary by Robin Wood, Chair, Heritage Crafts Association
  • Networking with other industry professionals
  • Whisky tasting following the Skills Forum, kindly arranged by The Balvenie, the most handcrafted Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Can you add knowledge and experience to the debate?

The HCA are looking for representatives from craft groups, guilds and membership organisations, livery companies, training providers, government bodies and support organisations to participate. We need you to debate, share training experience and set in progress a strategy for ensuring the continuance of traditional craft skills training in the UK.

Sign up to attend the Skills Forum

Places will be allocated to ensure a good cross section from the crafts sector. To apply, please contact us quoting 'Skills Forum'.
