I'll do that on my next trip across the pond. Hopefully next summer! It's been a year since my last trip & I want to go back!

Hi Brenda and Michael. Thanks for joining! I am a crafter in Scotland, Brenda. We are based in Fife, but during August we have a stand at the Edinburgh Festival Craft Fair. It's seven days a week for three weeks, so it's a crazy time just now. My husband ( and business partner) looks after the stand while I am in the workshop making to keep the stock levels up. We make cards and embroidered pictures, by the way.

I'm not a crafter per se, but I work part-time at a shop called Concrete Wardrobe here in Edinburgh which specialises in crafts made in and by Scottish-based designer makers. Some of the works we sell printed and woven textiles accessories by Tessuti, PickOne, Mairi Brown, Lauren Crawford, Katherine Emtage, Catherine Aiken; Soda+Kitsch leather goods; mixed-media jewelry by Adrian Baird Ba Than, Isley Spalding, Avril Sommerville,... These are just some of the desiger-makers we supply (CW carries over 200 different makers!) Come in sometime and tell them Michael sent ya!!!!

Hi Marion,
Are you a crafter in Scotland? I make Celtic jewelry, but in the USA, and I weave, spin, and love all textile arts.
