Whether your career is in acting, writing or making, there is a line between talent and professionalism and it’s the job of organisations such as Craft Scotland to support makers in developing both.

Craft Scotland will represent Scotland later this year when they take six of the nations’ most qualified craftspeople to the international exposition, SOFA Chicago. 

This week we take a look at the stop motion animation Coraline, a stop-motion 3D fantasy children's film based on Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name.
