As a member of Heritage Crafts, I'm pleased to say that .....
Canal art and boat painting
Fairground Art
Graining and Marbling
Vardo art and living waggon Art,
......are now recognised and are on the endangered list of crafts, which means that the crafts exist but have a declining list of practioners, shrinking market and have concerns over their ongoing viability. Ive been lucky to have made a full time living from these crafts for the last 38 years.
