Help save an endangered craft from extinction!

These kits have everything you need to make your own basket using the special knotting technique used in Fair Isle Strawback Chair making. Suitable for ages 9 years and up. Once you have mastered the technique, use the hints and tips in the enclosed booklet to try your own designs. A native of Fair Isle, Shetland, Eve Eunson learned the critically endangered heritage craft of Fair Isle Strawback Chair making from the last maker, Stewart Thomson. Eve now works hard to promote and protect the craft by passing on the skills and developing her own through contemporary practice. Eve is currently exhibiting work, including the Cubi Fair Isle Strawback Chair, retailing at £2,880 in Bard.
