Heritage Craft Skills Workshops by Fabrication Crafts
Our Heritage Craft Skills workshops are based on our findings from our Coney Street research project, identifying some of the skills on the street throughout the centuries.
Many such as coppersmithing are also redlisted, so come along and learn some traditional, and endangered skills.
Places are free, thanks to the generosity of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, although a £10 deposit is required to book, refundable on attendance. Booking is essential and numbers are ltd to 6 attendees.
Due to the current situation they all run at our Leeds workshop due to space
