Casting the Net Project
Designing the minibus
Casting the Net is an oral history project developed by Clyde Fishermen’s Association and the Scottish Fisheries Museum which aims to capture the memories and experiences of the last of the ring-net fishermen and their families from around the Firth of Clyde and West coast of Scotland. This will result in the creation of both film and sound based material.

The many professional artists – painters, potters, sculptors, furniture makers, jewellers, textile artists and photographers, who work on the Cowal peninsula in the midst of the beautiful Argyll countryside, open their doors to visitors on these four days (and on other times by appointment). From Cairndow to Lochgoilhead, Dunoon and Toward, from Strachur to Otter Ferry. Tighnabruaich coastline and many beautiful places in between. Come and see what lies behind the closed doors and beyond the garden gates.
