What is... Traditional Craft?
with Anna Liebmann, Mary Lewis & Simon Cooper | Edinburgh Tradfest 2026
(Mon 4 May: 11am)
Crafting is popular like never before, from basket-making to knitting, potting to printmaking; but where are the roots of all this contemporary crafting, and what counts as ‘Traditional Craft’? Join Heritage Craft’s expert Mary Lewis, along with craft artists Simon Cooper and Anna Liebmann to find out, in the relaxed environment of the George Mackay Brown Library (or, if you prefer, in the comfort of your own home).
Want to try your own hand at crafting? Stick around for one or both of our afternoon workshops on Hand-Bound Brush Making and Willow-weaving.
