Perthshire Artisans are exclusively exhibiting at Birnam Arts for the first time from 30 November - 12 January. This exciting collaboration provides an excellent opportunity to discover work from locally based artists and creatives and source seasonal (or other kinds of) gifts in person.
Celebrating and supporting local, runs through the core of our Perthshire Artisans platform all year round, yet during the seasonal months of the year it's even closer to our hearts, and we hope others enjoy doing so too.
So this year, in addition to sourcing gifts via our website, of which there are over 500 locally created handmade items to select from, if you're in Perthshire why not visit Birnam Arts and see a selection of other works from the Artisans in person.
It's a joy to be working with Birnam Arts, a well known Perthshire cultural venue to many of the local residents, visitors to the area and the Artisans themselves. Offering a varied programme of arts, theatre, workshops and events, it is also home to the Beatrix Potter Exhibition as well as a cafe and gift shop.

This collaboration is also timely, with both organisations striving to support the local arts community and small businesses in local communities, as it will be open on Small Business Saturday UK, which falls on Saturday 7 December. This annual initiative also aims to fly the local flag for independents and small businesses which all make our local areas interesting, vibrant and a joy to support.
Helen Reid, Birnam Arts Visual Arts & Development Manager said: “I’m delighted to be working with Perthshire Artisans to bring this exhibition of original artwork and design to Birnam. Not only is this the perfect opportunity for us to connect with local artists to showcase some of the region’s finest artistic talent and craftsmanship, but it also provides visitors with an opportunity to ‘shop local’ this Christmas and contribute to the region’s arts economy.”
With many of the Perthshire Artisans taking part, you can enjoy a wide selection of gifting inspiration including original paintings, prints, ceramics, glass, jewellery and mosaics.
