Music, Arts & Crafts
Fair Isle is renowned for producing world-class creative talent. Those who have called the Isle their home often say that their work has been inspired by the rich history, wonderful traditions and stunning natural environment of the island.
Fair Isle’s close, nurturing, community is proud of what our musicians, artists and crafts people have achieved. I am also honoured to call many of them family and all of them friends.
I hope you enjoy meeting them below and experiencing a sample of their work. If you have any questions, please contact the person directly through the details on their profile page. Enjoy!
