Aosdana is a private gallery showing fine art textiles, silverware and original Iona jewellery. Founded in 1997 by artist and weaver Mhairi Killin (the fifth generation of her mother’s family to live and work on Iona) this fantastic gallery and workshop takes its name from the Gaelic word for ‘people of the art, craft or gift.’ Located in the St Columba Steadings, once a collection of derelict farm buildings, now converted to provide a workshop, art studio and exhibition space for other local artists and craft makers.
