The Great Scottish Craft Hoolie gathers craftspeople, creatives and nature-lovers in the woodland setting of Cardross Estate for two weekends of immersive making in August 2025. The first weekend, focused on woodcrafts, offers sessions in carving, turning and tool use. The second explores a wider mix of traditional crafts including blacksmithing, leatherwork and screenprinting. Each workshop is led by skilled tutors, with guest events running during the week in between. Camping and food options support a relaxed, communal atmosphere, with open fires and shared meals. It’s a festival of hands-on learning, slow living and the joy of making in nature.
