About Us
Perthshire is bursting with creativity, as well as being totally stunning,
brilliantly centrally located and popular for outdoorsy pursuits!
Perthshire Artisans exists to illuminate the creative talent living and working in this glorious part of Scotland, whilst also supporting them in their creative business.
THE IDEA
for Perthshire Artisans unfolded when GrowBiz Scotland was exploring innovative ways to support small creative businesses. We launched in June 2020.
SHOP WITH A SMALL BUSINESS
Buying locally, ethically and from a small business is undoubtedly more fun, more interesting, better for our planet and it just makes sense!
INDIVIDUAL ARTISAN STORY TELLING
Get to know the Artisans better! Their profile page highlights their process, inspirations and their particular way of working, as well as their fabulous creations.
CREATIVE TALENT & QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP
As a curated platform, you know that all Artisans work is excellent quality, maintaining both traditional skills and combining contemporary techniques.
BUY BETTER BUY LESS
As small businesses, the Artisans understandably work sustainably, from their making process to their packaging. Many purposefully source pre-used materials.
SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
Uniquely, Perthshire Artisans have regular opportunities to chat collectively & support each other, sharing their knowledge & experience of being a small business.
Every Artisan in our community is either a full or part time creative professional, highly skilled in their particular craft. Some are ensuring we don't forget traditional techniques, others innovate pushing creative boundaries, many embracing new technology, cleverly combining established techniques with new.
Every purchase made through Perthshire Artisans supports the artisan community and the rural economy. Our profits are reinvested into providing individual enterprise and peer support to help them grow their practice, enhance their skills and develop a sustainable income from their talents.
