ENDANGERED CRAFTS - Revival and Conservation

With every new list of “Endangered Crafts” or “Crafts in Urgent Need of Safeguarding” published, the light of tradition and culture diminishes a little. The loss of these crafts means a loss of heritage, culture and history dating back to ancient times. However, not all hope is lost, thanks to the torchbearers below who have been working hard towards keeping these crafts alive and trying to brighten the fading light.


Jui Apte

Jui Apte is a product designer and maker from India, currently based in London and is engaged in the craft of coppersmithing. While studying for her bachelor's in Product Design, a lot of emphases was given to technical know-how, mechanisms and manufacturing of products. However, it was during her master’s program, that she first started working with crafts, specifically copper. The design of the kettle is inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement which formed a significant part of the cultural history of Newlyn.
