Leather Working Bursaries

The Leather Working Bursaries programme supports individuals to start training in leather work or to further develop their skills through the Heritage Crafts bursary scheme. The Leathersellers' Company recognises that many people are prevented from furthering their leather working skills because of cost, and these bursaries seek to help cover or subsidise the cost of training for people who would otherwise be prevented from pursuing this career as a result of cost. These studies can be at any level, formal or informal. The bursaries are managed by Heritage Crafts with the Leathersellers' Company providing funding, support and being involved in the interview stage. Applications for 2024-25 are now being accepted through the Heritage Crafts website.
