'Carved, Woven, Fired’ is a new collaboration between Garvald Edinburgh and Craft Scotland showcasing the work of makers with a learning disability and/or autism.  

Coming to the Garvald Makers Shop in June, the exhibition will present ceramics, textiles and wood homewares created by skilled makers from Garvald’s craft workshops. 

Experience the creativity, skill and dedication of Garvald’s makers through a curated display of wearables and objects for the home. Distinctive ceramics, handmade wood furniture and homewares are presented alongside woven textiles in fresh summer colour palettes to reveal the imagination and artistry at the heart of Garvald’s craft community.
