Promoting and teaching
sewing and textiles to all
Làmhan [pron. LAAH – vn] is the Scottish Gaelic word for ‘hands’.
Làmhan is a new charity based in Callander, Scotland
We are dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional sewing and textile crafts, particularly heritage skills at risk of being lost. Through hands-on workshops and public education, we provide opportunities for people to develop sewing skills, fostering creativity, self-sufficiency, and a deeper appreciation for Scotland’s textile heritage.
Why We Do It
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 and textiles.
