Touched By Scotland Ltd was established to promote and support local artisans in the North East.

In two years, the business has grown to become known as ‘the place’ to find unique handcrafted goods. Over 300 artists display and sell their work at the gallery, with more that two-thirds being Scottish based.

An extensive programme of workshops has been established, allowing artisans to pass on their knowledge and skills to others. International, as well as local tutors have been sourced to teach classes in subject such as weaving, spinning, papermaking, lampwork bead making and jewellery making.

Students from all parts of the UK have enrolled in these classes, with interest now being shown by foreign students.

In December 2005, Touched By Scotland Ltd, local residents and artists came together to form a social enterprise called the Oyne Community Interest Company. The assets of this Limited Company are ‘locked’ and may only be used to benefit the community.

This is only the second such enterprise to be established in Scotland. This will allow the community to have direct input into the development of this venue for the arts.
