Central Scotland School of Craft

By Rebecca Wilson and Jo Pudelko

Jewellery makers Rebecca Wilson and Jo Pudelko have been awarded £2400 to help launch Central Scotland School of Craft, a new initiative coming to Dunblane in Spring 2021. The school will offer a comprehensive programme of craft workshops, ranging from one day to week-long courses, accessible to everyone - from complete beginners to established professional makers.

Rebecca said: “We have an impressive array of ‘A list’ crafters from all over the country lined up to deliver a range of courses with a focus on heritage and endangered crafts, and skilled hand-making. Although based in Dunblane, the Craft School will be an asset to the wider Stirling community providing a creative hub for continued learning and employment opportunities for local creative freelancers. It will also draw visitors from outside the local area, contributing to the district’s profile of creative facilities and enhancing the cultural profile of Stirling and the surrounding areas.”
