Welcome to the first episode of “The art of preservation” podcast, hosted by Scot Scoop staff writer May Lin. This podcast series is about the preservation of endangered traditional crafts around the world. 

“When I have an ink, I tinker and practice. As the saying goes, a man who is self-taught has a fool for a teacher,” said Ian Moran, one of the last arrowsmiths alive in the UK. In this episode, Moran shares how his arrowsmithing journey as a recreational arrowsmith started, and why he believes that traditional crafts must be preserved.
