As part of our ongoing series highlighting publications from 2025, we are spotlighting a publication that digs deep into the roots of Welsh heritage and the "tacit" knowledge held within the hands of traditional makers. "Weaving Lost Traditions: A Comparative Transdisciplinary Reconstruction of a Welsh Cleft Hazel Basket" offers a profound look at how we preserve, and sometimes fail to fully capture, heritage crafts; which are rooted in tradition sustained by a community in constant dialogue with its environment. This research uses Welsh cleft hazel basketry as a lens to explore the gap between technical instruction and the deep, place-based expertise of traditional craftspeople.
