The Heritage Crafts Association and the Marsh Christian Trust are offering the Marsh Awards for Heritage Crafts, two new £500 awards for the heritage crafts sector. The awards are in the following categories:

Trainer - this could be a teacher, tutor, workshop leader, master or simply a craftsperson who offers one-to-one advice. You could be offering anything from taster sessions for beginners to masterclasses for professionals. Trainers may nominate themselves, or be nominated by a trainee or a craft organisation

Volunteer - this can be an independent volunteer or a member of a craft organisation who has volunteered their time in the heritage crafts sector. Nominations can come from organisations or from individuals who have benefited from the volunteer's help.

Deadline: 31 October 2011
