Radcliffe Heritage Craft Residency

This dedicated residency is designed to support makers whose work focuses exclusively upon the preservation of traditional craft skills and processes with the aim of preserving and promoting these skills for future generations.

These include, but are not limited to: textile craft, horn work, Shepherd’s Crook and stick making, curling stones, Fair Isle chairs, Orkney chairs, Shetland chairs, spinning wheels, traditional boat building, Galloway clogs, woodturning, basketwork, musical instrument making, staved vessels, barrel making, silver making and jewellery, quaichs, bookbinding, iron work, ropework, and stonemasonry.

This residency is designed to support the development of new work, research, and experimentation. Makers should draw on cultural heritage as a source of inspiration, and we welcome applications from those seeking to deepen and enrich their understanding of the past while creating contemporary interpretations.
