WHAT IS … TRADITIONAL CRAFT?
with MARY LEWIS

Crafting is popular like never before - from basket making to knitting, potting to printmaking; but where are the roots of all this contemporary crafting; and what counts as ‘Traditional Craft’?

Join Heritage Craft’s expert Mary Lewis, along with craft artists Simon Cooper and Anna Liebmann to find out, in the relaxed environment of the Storytelling Centre’s George Mackay Brown Library (or, if you prefer, in the comfort of your own home).

Want to try your own hand at crafting? Stick around for one (or both!) of our afternoon workshops on Hand-Bound Brush Making and Willow Weaving.

At the Scottish Storytelling Centre (or online)
