Rural
Craft Courses Plumpton College at Netherfield. There is concern that some of our traditional crafts are set to disappear as older experienced crafts people are unable to pass on their skills to people interested in maintaining rural crafts. |
|
With
a revival of interest in the products of traditional crafts using locally
sourced sustainable materials, the market looks set to increase.Plumpton
College at Netherfield is running new rural crafts courses using trainers
who are practicing their crafts.
Crafts
taught in our courses are mainly Greenwood Trades which reflects the
wooded nature of our surrounding countryside. |
