Ceàrd: A Hub of Scottish Contemporary Craft in Ullapool

Discover Ceàrd on 21 West Argyle Street, Ullapool, a haven for enthusiasts of Scottish contemporary craft. At Ceàrd, the focus is on showcasing locally made treasures, from the hands of the makers straight to your heart. This charming shop is not just a place to find unique items; it’s a journey into the heart of Scottish artistry, offering an array of paintings, prints, jewellery, ceramics, textiles, carved wood, and forged metal.

Embracing Local Talent

Ceàrd proudly represents over 60 artists and makers from Scotland, with 90% of the craftsmanship originating from Ullapool, Wester Ross, Inverness, or Sutherland. The gallery is a testament to the rich creative talent in the Highlands, providing a platform for local artisans to share their work with the world.

Visit Us

Open from March to September, Thursday to Monday, 12 – 5pm (closed Tuesday and Wednesday), Ceàrd invites you to explore the best of Scottish contemporary craft. Though lacking a dedicated online sales platform, Ceàrd has a history of shipping their exquisite finds worldwide. If an item catches your eye, whether in-person or on their social media, reach out, and they can arrange for you to have it, no matter where you are.

A New Chapter

Originally part of An Talla Solais, Ullapool Visual Arts, Ceàrd, previously known as Market Street Arts, moved to its current location in 2015, adopting a name that resonates with its core—the Gaelic word for maker, smith, or artisan. Now run solely by Sara Garnett, with the support of her husband Pete, Ceàrd continues to flourish as a cornerstone of Ullapool’s craft scene.

Engaging Community and Culture

Ceàrd’s collaboration with Craft Scotland and inclusion in the ‘Hand Crafted Gift Guide’ highlights its significance not just as a shop but as a cultural landmark in the Highlands. The gallery’s ‘Meet the Maker’ events offer unique opportunities to engage with artists and their processes, making art accessible and personal.

A Destination for Craft Lovers

Whether you’re seeking that perfect Christmas gift, interested in meeting the minds behind the craft, or simply looking to immerse yourself in Scottish creativity, Ceàrd is your destination. Follow their social media for updates on the latest events and showcases, and let yourself be drawn into the vibrant world of Highland craft.

In Ullapool, Ceàrd stands not just as a shop but as a celebration of Scottish craft, inviting all to explore and connect with the artistry that makes the Highlands so unique.
