The Artisan’s Hand

The Artisan’s Hand, the working studios of Balfour House, is a unique opportunity to step into a real working environment as artisans open up their spaces and invite you in as they work. Watch craftspeople demonstrating the skills they have built over a life time, showcasing traditional and contemporary techniques, using specialist tools and creating one-off pieces inside this beautifully restored historic house right in the middle of Cygnet’s main street. You are encouraged to engage with the artisans, asking them questions and really digging into these time-honoured trades. Whether you purchase from the gallery and shop, or engage the artisans to design and create something uniquely yours, you’ll have the chance to walk away with something truly hand-made right here in the heart of the Huon Valley.
