Heritage Crafts are thrilled to announce that nominations are now OPEN for the Emerging Weaver of the Year Award 2026.

We are looking for a maker who:

• Demonstrates a high level of technical skill.

• Raises the profile of weaving through sharing what they do.

• Shows the grit and dedication to achieve long-term success.
