Nominations open for Emerging Leatherworker of the Year Award.
Closing date: 1 Jul 2025
This award celebrates an early-career heritage craftsperson (in the first 5 years of their professional practice) who has made an outstanding start to their leatherworking career. The award winner will be highly skilled amongst their peers, whilst raising the perceived value of their craft through sharing and awareness raising. They will have given themselves a fantastic chance of achieving long-term success, perhaps overcoming disadvantage or setbacks along the way.
The award is open to practitioners of any craft that uses leather as its primary material. Examples include (but are not limited to) saddlery, shoemaking, harness making, tanning, fashion, accessory making etc.
Anyone, including the maker themselves, can nominate for this award. Finalists will be expected to attend the high-profile Winners’ Reception in November 2025.
