The Big Skill is Walking is a ‘relay’ journey around Wales in which participants form a ‘chain’, swapping genuine craft items from their locality with the next person along the line. We are looking for partners and providers to walk with us, host the venues and provide the crafts. We will be running a 3 day pilot in June. For more information, please contact us, or come and discuss it in person at

our upcoming Hay Craft Festival. Each participant can travel whatever distance he or she chooses; the only stricture is that he or she must be at the meeting destination for the next person to make the swap. The emphasis is on useful items rather than on purely decorative pieces. During the course of the ‘swaps’, the original item will of course be the final item and will be left ‘unswapped’, a symbol of the eternal endurance of crafts and the timelessness of the skills involved. Ultimately, there will be an exhibition of all the items that have made the journey, along with a day of demonstrations by the makers. The idea was originally proposed by ’The Hedgerow Handbook’ author Adele Nozedar.
