Reviving Lost Crafts: Europe’s Endangered Artistic Traditions

Across Europe, ancient crafts are disappearing — but a quiet revival is underway. From French Aubusson tapestry and Italian Burano lace to Serbian Pirot kilims, Scottish Fair Isle knitting, traditional wooden boatbuilding, and Sámi duodji, these endangered artistic traditions represent centuries of cultural knowledge.

This documentary explores the beauty, history, and future of Europe’s endangered crafts, highlighting the artisans, communities, and initiatives working to keep them alive. Supported by UNESCO’s framework for intangible cultural heritage, European Commission projects, and grassroots efforts, these crafts are not just decorative objects — they are living stories of resilience, identity, and creativity.
