Heritage Craft Practitioner Survey

CraftGate is building a network for heritage craftspeople: a place to find, and be found by, others in your craft, people who want to learn from you, and those looking for your skills. What it offers will be shaped by what practitioners tell us, and this survey is where that starts. By taking part:

  • Free Profile - coming for Red List practitioners and sole traders.
  • Early word - on teaching and hosting work.
  • Help towards a qualification - if you want it.
  • The findings - before they are published.

Part 1 takes about six minutes, and nothing in it asks you to look anything up. There are no right answers, and an honest view is more use to us than a polite one.
