New research by Heritage Crafts has unearthed more traditional craft skills on the verge of extinction in the UK, in the latest major update of its pioneering project, the Red List of Endangered Crafts. Some of our most beloved heritage crafts face an uncertain future - discover why stained glass is one such endangered craft.
