Hebridean Peat Crafts

Hebridean Peat Crafts are makers of an exclusive range of Fine Art Craft items, Gifts, Jewelry and Commemorative Items all produced from sustainably sourced & genuine Isle of Lewis Peat. We welcome commissions from Corporate, Retail or personal clients

Hebridean Peat Crafts are based in the picturesque village of North Tolsta on the North East Coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides and were set up in 2013 by local Craftsman Steve Adams aided by Craft Makers Awards from CNES and assistance from Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Local Business Gateway

Steve Adams has a background of over 35 years in a variety of craft based disciplines including ceramics, joinery, ornamental or fibrous plasterwork production & restoration and antique picture frame restoration.

He has worked in the past for the National Trust and English Heritage on the restoration of many of the decorative aspects of listed buildings all over the UK

The concept behind Hebridean Peat Crafts is an expression of many of Steve’s previously acquired skills making use of traditional materials and techniques utilizing both traditional and modern designs to produce a wide range of craft and fine art items.

All the hand crafted items made by Hebridean Peat Crafts have at their heart locally sourced hand dug peat that is over a 1000 years old. It is then naturally processed and combined with other traditional and 100% natural materials.

The resulting material is known as Hebridean Composition©.

The origins from which Hebridean Composition© has been developed go back several centuries, many examples of which still exist to this today exhibiting its durability and long life, so ensuring that you will be able to enjoy your Hebridean Peat Craft items for many years.

Each item is individually pressed into hand made molds to produce anything from Jewelry and Buttons to decorative and unique fine art objects.

Hebridean Peat Crafts are always happy to collaborate with other craft makers in the application and design of this uniquely Western Isles material in a wide variety of craft mediums including textiles and jewelry.

Individual commissions from Corporate, Retail or Personal sources are welcome.
