The beauty of the Perthshire Countryside provides endless inspiration to local and visiting artists alike and the result is exquisite handcrafted wares that can be viewed, commissioned and purchased as quality gifts for friends and family or the acquisition of a wonderful and individual piece of artwork for your own collection. There are regular fairs around the region where you can indulge in the quality of the goods and relish in the choice on offer.
Art Galleries exhibit precious paintings, drawings and sculptures that have been formed in the inspiration of the surrounding mountains, architecture and people of Perthshire. These can be found in many of Perthshire’s Town and Village Halls, Castles, Museums and shops. You will find Pottery on sale and will often have the chance to view the potter at work or try it for yourself. Woodcarving and Stained Glass making, Jewellery, Knitwear and Glass Blowing can all be found in the Perthshire region and further afield.
Highly collectible Caithness Glass makes tremendous gifts. The factory is fun for all the family with a free factory tour you can browse and buy while the children try their hand at painting their own glass.
