Over 40 of Scotland's most exciting contemporary craft makers and designers will be
gathered in Banchory this weekend to participate in flock, Woodend Barn's signature
Christmas Craft & Design Fair which runs Sat 21 - Sun November 22.
Now in its second year, flock is earning a reputation for being the one-stop-shop for
bespoke, creative gifts in the North East of Scotland. With over 2000 people through
the doors last year, this year promises to be even bigger, with new exhibitors joining
the show from Edinburgh, Inverness and the Western Isles.
The show will see the launch of some brand new products from Aberdeenshirebased
designers such as textile artist Belinda Rose, whose new hand-woven silk and
merino wool scarves showcase a contemporary take on the intricate patterns and
motifs found on local Pictish carvings.
Director of Woodend Barn, Lorraine Grant says "flock is a wonderful showcase of
the creative talent that exists across Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City, as well as
hosting the work of other innovative makers from further afield in Scotland. It's an
important and hugely enjoyable role that we play at Woodend Barn, in providing a
platform for the region's creativity and supporting small creative businesses which
contribute so much to the nation's economy.”
