HRH The Prince of Wales
“Through my school for the traditional arts, I have tried to do what I can to continue the living traditions of the world’s sacred and traditional art forms. It is all too easily forgotten how crucial traditions are in handing on the immense richness of human knowledge, wisdom and skill, and giving them new life and new application. I hope that The School’s practical teaching and outreach programmes will enable the next generation to bring their inheritance to life.”

The Prince’s School for Traditional Arts is one of The Prince’s Charities, a group of not-for-profit organisations of which The Prince of Wales is President: seventeen of the charities were founded personally by the Prince.
The group is the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the United Kingdom, raising over £120 million annually. The organisations are active across a broad range of areas including opportunity and enterprise, the built environment, responsible business, education and health. In addition to the charities, there are six social enterprises, one of which is Traditional Arts Ltd, which develops and sell products based on the designs from students and alumni of the School.
