A couple of weekends ago, I had the privilege of travelling up to the Outer Hebrides to deliver craft workshops to school kids and members of the public as part of The Big Craft Giveaway. The Big Craft Giveaway took place this Saturday 21st September across Scotland. A number of museums and galleries took part. Handmade pieces of craft were given out, free of charge to members of the public, either at designated locations or through 'wild releases', turning up at places you'd least expect them. You may have been enjoying a coffee in your local cafe, and a beautiful craft object appeared on your saucer?
Here are some of the objects made on Benbecula and Lewis. The objects were inspired by Museum nan Eilean's current exhibition 'Weather, And A Sense Of Place' and were made using donated tweed from the islands.
