Talking Craft
craftscotland is piloting an email discussion list which works in a similar way to a conference call. Ask questions, share resources and raise ideas and opinions. So far there have been discussions on craft at art fairs, selling online and helping a Japanese lady fulfil a lifelong dream to learn to knit in Shetland. Find out how to join the conversation»
