The Heritage Crafts Association publishes a biennial 'Red List of Endangered Crafts,' categorising British craft practices as if they were animals—extinct, critically endangered, endangered, or currently viable. While society invests time and money into preserving endangered animals, should we also extend this effort to endangered crafts?

Drawing inspiration from one of these crafts—the weaving of willow lobster pots, also known as withy pots—we propose an expansion of the practice in a new context: Confluence Park, Lewisham. Here, the craft serves to foster connections between people and nature, as well as people and place. How can a craft be used to build a sense of agency? What role can craft play in contemporary developments? Through this transplantation of the craft, we establish a new practice, aiming to leave a lasting legacy that runs parallel to withy pot making.
