🌟 NEW at Verdant Works Museum: we're delighted to be hosting Ardbeag Crafts' fantastic exhibition, Forgotten Fleece Tales!

Showcasing a collection of works made using “waste” or “unwanted” organic Scottish fleece, and byproducts of industrial fleece processing, the exhibition acts as an exploration of the place wool holds in Scotland’s history and heritage, and how it can be reimagined as part of a sustainable future for fashion, design, architecture, and conservation – as well as being a reminder of the impact of fast-fashion and the hundreds of tonnes of UK fleece that goes to waste every year.

See one of Scotland's most iconic materials crafted into a beautiful array of artworks by makers across the breadth of the country.

📅 On display now until 10 October 2026
🎟 Included in museum admission; book online and save!
