Monday 20 - Friday 24 May 2019
Craft Scotland’s COMPASS: Residential, held at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, was designed to allow makers the time and space to develop their business thinking and their craft practice.
This five-day residential provided a dynamic and immersive learning environment with an emphasis on peer support, collaboration and creativity. Utilising the building blocks from the one-day workshops, along with new sessions, Craft Scotland encouraged the makers to challenge their thought process in a supportive environment.
Workshops were led by Elaine Furnivall with guest speakers Dave Jarrold (Trainer & Coach, Lasting Impact) and Veronique AA Lapeyre (Marketing Manager, Craft Scotland).
The COMPASS: Residential Dinner held on Wednesday 22 May brought together resident makers and creative professionals for a celebratory dinner to launch this programme.
