Training bursaries for leather craftspeople
Heritage Crafts, with support from the Leathersellers’ Foundation and the British Leather Industry Development Trust, is offering bursaries of up to £4,000 for new and early-career leather craftspeople facing financial hardship.
The bursaries aim to remove financial barriers and make the heritage crafts sector more inclusive. Eligible applicants include those starting a leather craft career, refining essential skills, or acquiring new techniques.
Leatherworking crafts are defined by the use of leather as a primary material and include activities such as saddlery, shoemaking, harness making, tanning, fashion, accessory making, and others.
Funds can cover training, tools, materials, and related costs but not living expenses. Successful applicants will receive guidance to achieve their goals.
