Skills for life: learning something new is as much of a treat as splurging on a new piece of clothing, especially if those skills help to prolong the lifespan of what you already own and love! As the crispness of autumn starts to creep in, take stock of your layers and woolies, your favourite blanket for snuggling on the sofa, your go-to hiking socks, and join us to learn the skills you need to treasure them for a little bit longer.

French Link Stitch Bookbinding is back by popular demand! We surveyed our regular bookbinding students and this is the stitch that came out on top. Join Cass to learn how to create these beautiful hand bound books, with decorative exposed spine that incorporates ribbons, lace, or remnant fabrics. Leave with a fully customised book that expresses your own style and influences, and the skills and confidence (and video tutorials!) to carry on binding at home.

Art Dolls : Curiosity and Character is a workshop all about letting go of what you think you know. It's a place to lose your inhibitions, loosen up in your making, and let your self expression (which is in all of us, even those of you who tell me 'I'm not creative!) float gently to the surface. Johanna's uniquely intuitive teaching style, and her carefully conceived 'loosening up' exercises build the perfect foundation for three days of not just doll making, but of harnessing your ideas and inspirations in a way that can be applied to all your creative endeavours. The Scottish Craft School is the only place in Scotland you can experience this unique course in person, so join us here in Dunblane for an unforgettable weekend!

Spend NEXT SUNDAY doing something truly memorable and meaningful at our spoon carving workshop with Louise Forbes. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or have never picked up a chisel, this workshop is your chance to learn from a master as you create a spoon that’s entirely your own. Using sustainably sourced Scottish wood, you’ll be guided step by step through the carving, filing, and sanding process in our bright and friendly studio. It’s a day of creativity, relaxation, and plenty of laughs. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a stunning spoon and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of handcrafted art.

Join us for a deeply grounding workshop experience, stitching in a group, and celebrating the quiet complexity of nature. Sustainable stitcher Eilidh Weir will show you how to transform fabric remnants into a mini quilt that reflects blooming borders, climbing stems and the insects hidden between them. Piece by piece, your mini quilt will grow into a gentle tribute to the plants and insects that shape our world, as we celebrate the transition between the seasons.⁣⁣

The Pale Rook’s workshops are so beloved because they are about more than just making dolls—they are about self-expression, storytelling, and embracing creativity in a deeply personal and fulfilling way.⁣

What makes our three day art-doll workshop workshop particularly special is the emphasis on individuality and emotional connection. Rather than following a strict pattern, attendees are guided to embrace imperfection, experiment with materials, and let their creations evolve organically. This approach not only fosters confidence in artistic expression but also makes each doll a meaningful, one-of-a-kind piece.⁣

I've tried to cram a full day of marvellous marbling into a minute long video, but it doesn't even begin to touch the surface! Marbling is a fully immersive and super satisfying creative experience, where you can experiment with swooping colours and scrolling patterns to your hearts content. Nothing quite beats that moment when you peel back the paper for the first time to reveal the swirling surface. Apart from maybe the next time you do it. And the next. And the next .... You get it!
