Endangered Baskets Symposium 5 October 2019Where: Museum of English Rural Life, Reading
When: Saturday 5 October 2019, 9am to 5pm

Are you an expert on a heritage basket or regional style of basket that you think may be endangered?

Hosted by the Heritage Crafts Association and the Basketmakers’ Association, the aim of this event was to bring together basket makers and experts from across the UK basket making community to assess the numbers of practitioners making heritage baskets and related crafts.

This will be brought together into a report and action plan to ensure that the intangible heritage of skills and knowledge are passed on to the next generation and continue to provide an inspiration and resource for contemporary makers.

This project has been generously funded by the Basketmakers’ Association, The Museum of English Rural Life and the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers.
