Handwork
edited by Anne Sinclair
In Fair Isle and Sorsele, Nord Trondelag and Steigen,
artisans of the past helped enable their communities to
survive through the sustainable production and
decoration of articles made from wool, wood and metal.
Handwork we hope, will give the reader a taste of
their legacy and of some of those skills which continue
into the present day.

AIR ISLE: ITS MARITIME RESOURCE DURING
THE 20TH CENTURY
by Emma Perring
"At the end of the nineteenth century, the
crofter-fishermen of Fair Isle were able to row out to
sea less than a kilometre and catch a yoal full of fish
in half an hour. The waters surrounding Fair Isle were
teeming with fish, and it was primarily this resource
that supported the men and their families: through
export and for home consumption. Yet today no islander
is employed at the fishing." Based on Fair Isle diaries
this booklet explores the changes in fishing stocks
around the isle during the 20th century and
what impact this has had on the community.
32 pp. Illustrated with a mixture of
colour, black & white photo's and line drawings.

A TASTE OF THE NORTH
edited by Emma Perring
"Taste of the North" introduces some of the rich and
varied traditional foods found within Fair Isle and
northern areas of Norway and Sweden. Some recipes are
still used widely within the regions, but the collection
of others required knowledge to be passed down through
the generations, inspiring community involvement across
the ages. We hope you will also be inspired and enjoy
sampling our traditional fare!
40 pp (in three columns, English,
Norwegian & Swedish). Illustrated with colour & black
and white photo's.
