Arts & Crafts
Art and craft activities are extremely popular in the Islands. Every September an art and craft exhibition is held at the Falkland Islands Community School where knitted, woven and felted garments are displayed alongside jewellery, leatherwork, horsegear, paintings, photography and a huge variety of individually crafted items.
Visitors may wish to try their own hand at similar crafts or simply browse and buy items to take home as a genuine souvenir from the Islands. Read more in art and photography and spinning, weaving and crafts
