It's the 10th anniversary of the Pittenweem Arts Festival Community Craft project!
This vibrant community project inspires both local residents and visitors to make a wide range of items, sometimes learning new techniques!
It creates a wonderful display of handicraft skills and it raises funds for many diverse causes. In the past 9 years it has donated over £18,000 to local and national charities.

Project co-ordinator Anne-Marijke has brought together knitters, crocheters, patchworkers, sewers and felters.
Each year they work within a theme. So far the group have made fish, tea cosies, hats, flowers, and cushions, and been inspired by the themes of thistles, Christmas, owls and winter warmers.
Each item is sold during the Pittenweem Arts Festival which takes place annually at the beginning of August.

Beneficiaries have included local organisations like the East Neuk Community Trust and the East Neuk Food Bank as well as the local branch of national charities such as Marie Curie Cancer Care and Alzheimer Scotland.
