The National Museums commissioned Skakel & Skakel to design
its first touring exhibition ‘Making Weaves: The Basketmaker’s
Art’ at a time when the revival of indigenous crafts in
Scotland was at the forefront of the arts funding debate.
Aiming to raise the profile of basketmaking; engage new audiences,
markets and practitioners, the exhibition incorporated the work
of 14 exhibitors and was held in the Main Hall of the Royal
Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.
