About

As well as capturing traditional sectors of UK heritage crafts, The Black Artisans will also capture artisans in other areas of cultural heritage – steel pan makers, basketry, and calabash artists, for example.

This body of work seeks to make visible Black Artisans and to enlighten, educate and inspire people and in particular young people to explore these areas as a potential field of work or as a leisure interest, perhaps not previously considered or made available.
