Clog making and thatching – the people behind craft jobs at risk

Ever fancied a career weaving baskets, making helmets or building rattan furniture?

Those are some of the crafts that are falling out of favour, making it on to a list of endangered trades.

Research by Heritage Crafts, a charity which supports and promote traditional crafts, has identified 20 more crafts at risk of vanishing from the UK.

Research found that rising operational costs, a lack of structured training, and mounting market pressures are placing unsustainable strain on crafts that depend on expert hand skills.
