Bethan is an artist and craftswoman, specialising in wild pigment painting, hide tanning and leatherwork, and working with ancient methods of land-based creativity to restore deep intimacy with place. She is devoted to Craft as ancestral remembrance, and to honouring both the practical and ritualistic aspects of making – Using hands and heart to connect in a tangible way to those who have come before us, and to the plants and animals with which we share this Earth.

Peter is a traditional tanner, teacher and craftsman focusing primarily on connecting people to our human and natural heritage through working with animal hides and other ancestral materials, as well as exploring Scottish folklore and how it weaves together the practical and the spiritual.

Together they run their small bark tannery from their home in the Highlands of Scotland, where they also run Ancestral Skills Gatherings and courses in Hide Tanning throughout the summer months – reconnecting people to place, and to ancient ways of being and working with the land. Tending to wild shrines is a deep love and ongoing act of devotion for them both, as is making traditional offerings and feeding their hearts and bodies with ancestral nourishment from the land on which they live
