STILL MAKING SCISSORS – BUT SLOWER THAN USUAL
Ernest Wright remains dedicated to crafting supreme quality, handmade scissors with perfect performance. However, due to social distancing, we have fewer staff than usual in the workshop. This means our production capacity is reduced, and we have long waiting times on our scissors and shears!
“Every Quilt Has A Story Behind It”
Ilkley-based artisan Jenni Smith believes every quilt has a story to tell. We spoke to Jenni about craft, community, and how her experience of writing a book about quilting with Liberty fabrics brought a lifelong love affair to a new pinnacle.
Stitches through time
For Savile Row tailor Jihae An, the craft of tailoring has provided a way to connect with British tradition on a deeper level.
Winners of the 2020 Heritage Crafts Awards

“We are but the two halves of a pair of scissors, when apart…
but together we are something”.
