Jonathan Reid

Trustee

Jonathan is Production Manager and a Putter (putter-togetherer) at Ernest Wright, Sheffield’s last remaining handmade scissor workshop. Trained by two of the UK’s remaining master-putters, he is fast learning everything there is to know about making scissors, a craft that is classified as critically endangered by Heritage Crafts. As a Sheffield local, Jonathan is familiar with the decline of the handmade sector in the UK and the effect it has had on his home town. In his free time Jonathan enjoys other crafts such as ceramics and knitting, as well as being a collector of vintage tools and cutlery.
