ERNEST WRIGHT LTD - THE RED LIST OF ENDANGERED CRAFTS











Ernest Wright Ltd of Sheffield. The company is one of only two commercially hand producing scissors in the UK.
In 2017 the UK charity Heritage Crafts published The Red List of Endangered Crafts. The list ranks traditional crafts by the likelihood they will survive into the next generation. As part of an ongoing project I’ve been photographing crafts people on the list throughout the UK. Scissor making is currently ranked as ‘Critically Endangered’ on The Red List.
