  Country Living's The Balvenie Artisan Awards winners

  We launched Country Living's The Balvenie Artisan Awards to recognise those with a traditional skill at the heart of their business and, crucially, to reward those passing on these skills to a new generation. The results were completely overwhelming, with a huge number of entries covering a multitude of crafts - from thatchers and blacksmiths to glass blowers and weavers.
