Bonnetmakers & Dyers of Glasgow

The Incorporation of Bonnetmakers and Dyers of Glasgow is a charity and forms part of the Trades House of Glasgow. Its registered charity number is SCO001872.

To apply for funding: https://www.tradeshouse.org.uk/crafts-bonnetmakers-dyers/ The Inc. of Bonnetmakers and Dyers of Glasgow is a charity based in Glasgow and is the youngest of the fourteen Crafts within the Trades House. The Craft is represented by Deacon Robert Linton this year from September 2020 for one year. In 1846 all the exclusive rights and privileges of trading that had been granted to

the combined Craft were swept away by the Recissory Act, but the Craft members decided not to wind-up the Craft but instead decided to channel the energy and enterprise of the Craft into the work of benevolence. Over the years the Craft has continued to attract members who are associated in, but not exclusively, some way with the textile and dyeing trades. Today the Craft's benevolence continues and considerable funds are distributed each year to the Craft's grantees. In addition the Craft also seeks to promote quality craftsmanship and trade education by awarding prizes each year to promising students at Stewarton Academy, Glasgow Kelvin College, City of Glasgow College, Glasgow School of Art, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian University and Heriot-Watt University. Further grants are considered by the Craft's Master Court on an individual basis.
