As well as capturing traditional sectors of UK heritage crafts, The Black Artisans captures artisans in other areas of cultural heritage – steel pan makers, and calabash artists, for example.
This body of work seeks to make visible Black Artisans and to enlighten, educate and inspire people and in particular young people to explore these areas as a potential field of work or as a leisure interest, perhaps not previously considered or made available.
The Black Artisans is a project by Jo Sealy whose most recent social documentary project is www.weareherewf.org
This project is funded by Waltham Forest Council Make It Happen Award 2021 and supported by Heritage Crafts.
