Abbey Craig

Abbey Craig is a creative practitioner, teacher, and facilitator, passionate about people, community, and lifelong learning.

Abbey’s professional practice and choice of work has recently been influenced by her own need to be well and the health and well-being needs expressed by the families, individuals, and professionals she meets when working in educational settings, residential care homes, hospices, and in local communities. Seeking out and creating projects that have a particularly positive impact on health and well-being has gradually become her main focus. Before, during and since the COVID-19 pandemic she has co-created with people who face multiple barriers every day due to age, disability, and health disability.

Recent projects include Worry Doll Stories (an intergenerational ongoing youth project supported by Scottish Government’s Youth Music Initiatve Scheme and created in collaboration with artist Rikki Craig), and Angus Remembers, June 2022 – May 2024, a project for which Abbey is Lead Creative and involves artists across Scotland commissioned to co-create ‘Collective acts of reflection, remembrance, hope, and healing’ with communities in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
