Team

Irene Kernan is responsible for leading organisational strategy and plans, and for providing leadership for the sector and team to champion Scottish contemporary craft. Irene oversees our programme and operations to ensure we meet our aims and reports directly to the Board.

Stacey Hunter is an independent design and craft curator, and founder of Local Heroes, based in Edinburgh. Through her unconventional design-centred experiences, events, exhibitions and cultural projects, she connects new audiences with design and craft.                                                                          Craft Scotland is delighted to be working with Stacey Hunter as the Director of our next Scotland showcase. This selling exhibition will build on the success of our Presenting Craft programme, offering makers greater opportunities to connect with audiences and showcase their work.  

Elaine Findlay supports Craft Scotland, and the wider craft sector, to promote their activity to audiences through maintaining our popular website and supporting our communications and digital work.

Gill Ramsay maintains our financial records and supports the production of the financial reports for the team, Board and funders.
