AD | A Fresh Creative Season for the Perthshire Artisans

Whether March arrives like a lamb or a lion, it is always a welcome month, marking the start of meteorological spring. The old 17th-century saying captures the unpredictable shift from winter to spring that we know so well, blustery skies one day, soft sunshine the next. Whatever the weather, the turning of the season feels full of promise.

Spring reminds us that our energy moves in cycles. Winter offers rest and reflection; spring brings renewal and momentum. As daylight stretches into the evening and the air softens, there’s a sense of readiness, a gentle nudge to step outside, make plans and begin again. For the Perthshire Artisans, this seasonal shift is an open invitation to experiment, explore new techniques and follow up on fresh ideas.

Nature is never far away in Perth & Kinross, and the landscapes of Highland Perthshire, the winding rivers, quiet burns and shimmering lochs, all shape a powerful sense of place. As hedgerows bud and gardens reawaken, the Perthshire Artisans find inspiration in colour, texture and movement. Their original paintings, prints, ceramics, glass, stone carvings, textiles, woodwork and jewellery often echo these natural rhythms.

You don’t need to be a professional creative to feel spring’s spark. Gardeners relish turning the soil once more, writers tuck notebooks into pockets for woodland walks, and we all enjoy the roadside wildflowers blooming into life. Even a morning coffee seems cheerier with birdsong and a little sunshine.

The Perthshire Artisans online shop showcases beautiful new handmade pieces, perfect for thoughtful gifts or refreshing your own space. Our website, www.perthshire-artisans.scot and social media also feature each Artisan’s story, latest news and workshop details. So whether March leaves like a lion or a lamb, it’s a month to be enjoyed, experienced and embraced as the start of a fresh creative season.
