Episode 11
This week we speak to James Donald, Scottish Weaver and Founder of PickOne Weave. James tells us all about weaving, the workshops and courses he runs, and we talk about looms and the types of skills and creativity needed for weaving. James talks us through new collective, Craft-ED, of which he is a part of - a directory of contemporary craft courses mainly in Leith and Edinburgh. We talk about James' favourite Leith memories and discuss the Airbnb and Covid-19 situations and how they affect independent businesses in Leith. Find out more about James' work on the PickOne Weave website, and check out Coburg House Art Studios, based near the Shore.
