Coming up Scottish Yarn Festival Perth Concert Hall 30 & 31 August Highland Wool Fest Strathpeffer Pavillion 27 September Glasgow School of Yarn at Trade Hall Glasgow on 17- 19 October.

Nestled in the far north of Scotland, the county of Caithness holds a wealth of creative spirit, and that's exactly what you'll find in caithnesscraftcollective. This podcast is a warm, conversational space hosted by the Caithness Craft Collective, where the focus is on the tangible joys of making things by hand. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a busy workshop, filled with the sounds of tools and friendly chatter. You'll hear from local makers as they share their processes, from traditional skills like knitting and woodworking to contemporary arts, all grounded in the unique landscape and light of this region. It's not just about the finished product, but the stories behind them-the problem-solving, the occasional happy accident, and the quiet satisfaction of creating something unique. Tuning into this podcast offers a genuine connection to a community where craft is a way of life, providing both inspiration for your own projects and a comforting sense of camaraderie. Whether you're an experienced crafter or simply curious about the handmade, these discussions celebrate the patience and personality poured into every stitch, carve, and brushstroke.
