James Fox - Craftland

We're thrilled to be hosting the publication day event for Craftland in paperback! James Fox's journey through the British Isles to catalogue and celebrate artisan and heritage crafts has been a huge sensation since it's release last year, and we're excited to celebrate it with James in the shop.James will be in conversation with Niamh MacKenzie, a PhD candidate working across the Highlands and Islands researching the arts, craftsmanship, and traditional practices. This promises to be a fascinating and insightful discussion, we can't wait to see it!James will be signing books after the talk, and there will be plenty of time for audience questions during the event. We hope to see you there!About Craftland:Britain has always been a craft land. For generations what we made with our hands defined our identities, built our communities and shaped our regions. Craftland chronicles the vanishing skills and traditions that once governed every aspect of life on these shores.Travelling the length of Britain, from the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands, James Fox seeks out the country’s last remaining master craftspeople. Stepping inside the workshops of blacksmiths and wheelwrights, cutlers and coopers, bell-founders and watchmakers, we glimpse not only our past but another way of life — one that is not yet lost and whose wisdom could shape our future.For as long as there are humans, there will be craft.
