About

Làmhan’s mission is to teach, promote, and sustain traditional sewing and textile crafts, with a focus on heritage skills that are in danger of being lost. Our focus is on the endangered craft of kiltmaking.

Through hands-on workshops, Làmhan seeks to provide individuals of all ages and backgrounds with the opportunity to develop sewing skills, fostering creativity, self-sufficiency, and a deep connection to Scotland’s textile heritage.

The vision is for Làmhan to become a leading centre for textile heritage education in Scotland, renowned for its high-quality training, its contribution to environmental sustainability, and its role in preserving Scotland’s cultural and artistic traditions. Làmhan aspires to be a hub of creativity, where individuals can learn, collaborate, and contribute to a sustainable future by making and mending their own clothing.

We are now a Qualifications Scotland Approved Centre, Arts Award Centre and Education Partner of UKFT.
