Marsh Heritage Crafts Maker of the Year Award

£1,000 (Marsh Charitable Trust)

This Heritage Crafts Award is to recognise a heritage craftsperson who has made an outstanding contribution to their specific craft within the previous 12 months (since 1 March 2022). This award will recognise a contribution that is far beyond the ordinary, either in pushing their craft to new levels or contributing to its promotion or continuation in an exceptional way. We expect this to be someone who demonstrates the highest level of craft skill and is held in high regard amongst their peers, but it need not be the most glamorous or high-end craft; we promote the simple, humble crafts too.

Anyone, including the maker themselves, can nominate for this award. Shortlisted applicants will be expected to attend the high-profile Winners’ Reception at the Vicar’s Hall, Windsor Castle on 15 November 2023.

Opening date for applications: Wednesday 1 March 2023
Closing date for applications: Friday 19 May 2023, 5pm
