I think it would be great if displays of maker’s work was more “the norm” so people became familiar with the work that makers do, and through that familiarity learn to appreciate the skill required by individuals to produce lovely items. Regular Makers Markets is what I’d like to see – something we hope to do this year in Assynt!

I’ve been as guilty as anyone of zipping round an exhibition in 10 or 15 minutes, because I could. You wouldn’t speed up a Beethoven symphony just to get home earlier–though cut down versions of Shakespeare are gaining ground! I think the burden falls on curators to make their exhibitions as ‘hooky’ as possible to catch and hold the visitor. Sometimes,of course, the work itself is so wonderful that it does it all anyway–like Lizzie Farey!
