Glossary (Coming soon)

The development of the Glossary will come from personal practical experience of our three crafts.

With this as the starting point there may be omissions as individual experience is limited and, in addition, it is in the nature of a traditional hand-craft that there can be variations in the interpretation of the terms arising from different localities or points in time.

To reduce the number of omissions we will welcome the submission of additional terms, updates to existing terms, and any questions you may have all of which can be done by contacting the Chairman of the Craft Committee via our Clerk.

For ease of reference the Glossary will be compiled in two ways, in generic groups and a full alphabetic listing.

The generic groups are listed below and the Glossary will be published on this website in due course.
