Mill director Annie Macdonald, pictured right, made the trip to the inaugural Europe-wide “Homo Faber” craftsmanship event. She was Furniture and Interior World invited to represent the Carloway Mill after a fi lm crew from the Michaelangelo Foundation visited earlier in the year and captured the history and Tpxvsurirs v r workings of the very Harris Tweed traditional mill The Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity hqvr v qrvts and Craftsmanship is an international non-profi t entity based in Geneva that celebrates and r !rh preserves master craftsmanship and strengthens its connection to the world of design. The foundation has worked with the mill for the last two years and Annie says their support is because they consider the mill workers at Carloway to be true craftspeople. The event title comes from the Latin expression "Homo faber suae quisque fortunae" (Every man is the maker of his destiny). Homo Faber is an expression that was fi rst coined during the Renaissance and it is said to capture and celebrate the infi nite creativity of human beings. Barbara Geary Truan, Secretary General of the Michelangelo Foundation, said: “Visitors were extremely touched by the story of Carloway Mill, is from 1992.
