West Kilbride Crafts Town Scotland
Situated on the rugged coastline overlooking the Isle of Arran, Craft Town Scotland is a haven for fine crafts set within the picturesque small town of West Kilbride.
There are six craft studios - first and foremost these are workshops where craft work is produced by a single maker. We are fortunate to have makers of the highest standard, from those just starting out to those with an international reputation.
The Gallery was launched in 2005 and in a relatively short period of time the quality of work exhibited has been recognised.
The WK Initiative Centre is an Aladin's Cave of affordable, quality giftware hand-crafted by local amateur and other semi-professional makers.
Studios open to the public Thursday, Friday and Saturday, although some open over and above these times. Please see our website for studio contact details.
Gallery outlet open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am till 4pmThe WK Initiative Centre is open Monday to Saturday, 10am till 4pm, except Wednesday, 10am till 1pm. Local information is also on display and our friendly, efficient volunteers are on hand to welcome you. The Barony Centre is scheduled to open late November/early December 2011. Designed by award winning architectural practice Ingenium Archial Limited, this redevelopment of a 19th Century 'C' listed church respects the traditional envelope of the building whilst adding contemporary interventions internally and externally. A dynamic and flexible space, the venue will be a fitting focus for craft and design for generations to come.A community inspired development and Registered Charity No. SC028481, the creation of Scotland's first Craft Town has transformed the town centre and helped make West Kilbride a better place to live, work and visit.
All profits generated by Craft Town Scotland are reinvested into sustaining and developing West Kilbride's retail and cultural hub as part of our vibrant community.
