Title: Artful Living in Celtic Homes
Description: Celtic farming and fishing families once made everything they needed at home by hand, from natural materials. They fashioned kitchenware and furniture from moss and straw, pine resin and whalebone or driftwood and seashells.
Whether creating a song or a whisky cup there was a sense of pleasure in getting it right and an instinct for beauty - this life was full of art.
Accompanied by over thirty original illustrations from the Hebridean Islands to the mountains of Donegal, here is a story of lives spent in the open air and by the fireside, weaving, spinning, mending nets, or singing, dancing and storytelling.
