your complimentary guide to artists and craftmakers
Welcome!
We hope that you will enjoy
meeting with the artists and
craftmakers along our North and
South Studio and Gallery Trails,
spectacularly different routes
offering venues with work as
intriguingly diverse as the
scenery you will drive through.
The Skye and Lochalsh Arts and Crafts
Association invites you to discover and
enjoy the same wonderfully inspirational
landscape that is home to so many visual
artists. Some of Europe's most dramatic
scenery and challenging weather patterns
provide the perfect backdrop to your
studio and gallery visits, where you can
meet our artists and craftmakers, discuss
their works and their ideas.
Hopefully you will take home
an original!

The Gallery and Studio Trails guide is
published annually by the Skye and
Lochalsh Arts and Crafts Association,
and funded entirely by member
contributions. We receive no
financial assistance from any public
or funding body, and no sponsorship
from any self-interested party.
Trail Traits
Travelling our Trails, from busy main roads to remote tracks, reveals not only very
different locations but a real diversity of artist and craftsperson. Ranging from
commercial premises to small part-time craftmakers working from home, they
have one thing in common, they offer you a warm welcome.
Visitor Attraction - open all year round, and seven days in the Summer, often
with an international profile, they will offer full visitor facilities, including on-line
ordering and full international postal service.
Gallery/Shop - commercially run and also keeping regular business hours, they
will combine displays of invited artists work with a range of crafts and gifts from
the Island.
Gallery - showing a range of work from several invited artists and craftspeople.
As galleries are resident artist-run, they offer experienced and knowledgeable
help and advice when purchasing works.
Artist showing work - an artist specialising in works inspired by the Island, but
not living here full-time. Contactable by telephone or e-mail, their works can be
viewed at the stated locations.
Artist's or Craftmaker's own Studio - here you can meet the artist or craftmaker
in person, and talk to them about their work. These are often premises attached
to or part of private houses, will have their own display area and are generally not
as definitive about their hours. Many small studios do not have credit / debit card
facilities. If you have a specific artist you wish to meet, a call ahead is always a
good idea.
