Deadline 17 February 2025.

Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire.

The Society of Antiquaries of London is partnering with Heritage Crafts for a third year to call for Heritage Crafts member craftspeople who practice rural crafts to submit expressions of interest in becoming the 2025 Maker in Residence (MiR) at Kelmscott Manor, the former home of internationally renowned writer, designer-craftsman, conservationist and revolutionary socialist, William Morris.

This year will focus specifically on RURAL CRAFTS. The project presents an opportunity to showcase rural crafts in an iconic rural setting visited annually by over 27,000 people. We are seeking an MiR who will be as inspired by it as Morris was over 150 years ago, and who can inspire and enthuse others by encouraging creative engagement. The MiR will be a professional working in a rural craft; we are keen to emphasise to potential applicants that our interest is not limited to practitioners of one of the crafts Morris himself was interested in or practiced.
