Dartmoor's Makers, Creators and Traditional Craft
An exciting new tour that can provide a opportunity to immerse you in the creative world of some of Dartmoor National Park's Artisan Creators.
In collaboration with Suzy Bennett, the inspiration and creator behind the Dartmoor Artisan Trail that has already gained national notoriety, with media coverage and award winning reviews including being named "UK's Best New Tourism Project" accredited by the British Guild of Travel Writers as well as described as "one of the UKs best travel experiences" by the Daily Telegraph.
It is an opportunity to chose from a bespoke collective of artisan creators and traditional crafts folk who can provide exclusive and private access to their workshops, forges, studios and work spaces allowing you to really experience their trade and inspiration behind their passion.
A tour that will immerse you in truly ancient craft techniques still practiced by these highly specialised, traditional and unique craft folk.
Blacksmiths, basket weavers, wood turners, natural ink letter presser, classic shoe makers, traditional potters and even a hide tanner, Dartmoor has one of the country's best collective of truly traditional creators who will open their workshop for us and you to experience a truly one off opportunity tour.
Suzy has, after many years of compiling the best photographs, content and most importantly the finest collaborations of artisan folk, recently published a hardback book, Artisans Of Dartmoor which documents the creators with atmospheric photos of them in their studios, insightful interviews that will inspire as well as the ethos and focus of man/women-made trade. Something we should all appreciate more in the world of mass production and machined existence.
A Dartmoor Artisans Tour is bespoke and based on artists availability, therefore needs to be booked up in advance, no last minute availability on this tour due to the creators involved. It is however a truly unique opportunity to visit these masters of age old creativity and methods to truly appreciate their craft and skills in what will be personal, and very unique to the trade environments.
A selection of Artisan creators will be chosen from in relation to your interests and their availability, what will follow will be a day of inspiration that will unfold with a natural flow.
Dartmoor National Park will provide the backdrop and frequent opportunities of immersion in its natural wonder will be woven into the logistics, an aspect of the creators own inspiration as well as the historical grass roots of many of the trades themselves having ancient links to the area. Local Inns and country pubs can service the needs of a hearty lunch which will again highlight the regional produce before we immerse ourselves further in the realms of creativity throughout the afternoon with more visits to creators of interest.
Your Artisans Tour will be documented photographically at no extra cost as a lasting memory of your unique experience.
