I am a hand weaver based in Leith, Edinburgh. I predominately weave using merino lambswool, enjoying the colour variations one gets from this colourful and versatile yarn. I am enjoying examining how many ways I can interpret differing stitched marks and patterns through the medium of weave on a 32 shaft Megado loom; my pride and joy! As well as stitched marks I am currently obsessed by all things denim, sampling is continually evolving as to how I can weave these two trains of thoughts together. I will presenting another mini collection of new woven works at Winter GLOW.

My textile prints are often inspired by walks in nature, patterns in the urban environment around me and Japanese textiles. My first love is hand screen printing onto natural cloth but I also design digitally for large scale projects, delicate silks and licencing artworks. I work with photographic and hand drawn imagery, layering the motifs and patterns using opaque and transparent inks in vibrant colour palettes. My distinctive patterns work beautifully across a wide range of homeware products including cushions and lampshades and fashion accessories including scarves and tote bags. Remnant cloth is repurposed as wearable art brooch badges.

I sell mounted and unmounted photographic prints, aluminium prints and handmade greetings cards of my work.

I only sell products with images which I have personally taken and we are blessed that Scotland is such a gorgeous country to photograph and capture.

I am a knitwear designer and maker who works with wool. I believe that the qualities and character of wool give a long lasting garment which is unmatched for warmth and breathability.

I live and work in Morar in the northwest highlands of Scotland and after many years of having a shop, I now work from a studio in my garden.

I’m a printed textile designer who specialises in the traditional method of screen print to create a range of contemporary prints for a range of products.

Each one of my products is unique as they are all hand made from start to finish and no two prints are ever exactly the same.

I have been a hand weaver and dyer since 1978. These scarves and shawls are all hand woven and hand dyed. My looms have 24 and 32 harnesses instead of the more usual 4 or 8. This allows me to design highly complex structures, and to combine them in a single piece for intriguing variations in scale, texture, and motif. My designs are original, unique, and innovative, with images inspired by nature, modernism, and the fabrics of Latin America, Central Asia, and Africa. Guided by the weave structure, I select silk fibres to maximise visual impact and to balance drape and stability. Hand-dying my yarns gives me complete control of my colour palette. My passion is to create refined scarves and shawls that are beautiful to look at and comfortable to wear.

I am a fine artist that has changed mediums from oil paint to threads, inspired by the landscape from my childhood home on the North Yorkshire Moors. I use thread in thick layers as though it was paint, building texture and colour with wool, linen, cotton both old and new, hand dyed and modern synthetic colours. I have a unique style of thread painting not based on traditional silk shading but on my own feeling about depth and my years of training as a painter. It is important to me to create the right feeling both mentally with a piece but also physically. I like a piece to feel weighty in the hand, to have presence and substance. I want people to feel a need to reached out and touch it. All work starts as a drawing and is stitched entirely by hand, no machines are used.

I really just like to make beautiful cloth, the touch, smell & texture of it, & the feeling of being wrapped in something created by hand from a craft steeped in history.’

As part of 'Spring Glow I will be launching my new collection of enamelled vessels alongside my uniquely enamelled jewellery. As designer I am drawn to the urban environment I live within, and the rural landscapes of Scotland I wander through. Through these journeys I gather the marks, textures, lines, and patterns that remain within these landscapes. My studio practice involves traditional silversmithing techniques, alongside my contemporary approaches to expressive enamelling. Using industrial and vitreous enamels I create painterly and sensitive surfaces, which I apply to my vessels and pieces of jewellery which reflect the hinterlands that I am inspired by.

I wade through boggy lochans and poke my camera into ditches to capture the tiny floral jewels and treasures that make up the macro landscapes of North West Scotland.

Cultivated by an intrigue into what it is to “feel”, I create what I refer to as artefacts. Artefacts to live in and with. Each product is woven and sewn by one pair of hands after thorough exploration surrounding each material. Questioning the way in which we form relationships and attachments to objects in which we as humans cannot always understand. An interest in DIY culture from a young age guided my process, an act of rebellion through making.

The name Olla Nua comes from the Irish words for ‘new wool’, reflecting my aim to use this traditional material in a modern and imaginative way. I weave my cloth on wooden floor looms, powered entirely by hand and foot, using a range of yarns spun in Ireland and the UK.

Just as I love working with wool, I hope these textiles bring comfort and a sense of home to the user wherever they travel.

I am a textile artist working with free-machine embroidery to decorate the clothing and soft furnishings that I make, mainly on a commission basis.

Each piece becomes a little treasure reminding the wearer or owner of how precious our wildlife is and how surprising colours can be found in everyday creatures and plants.

Lockdown afforded me the luxury of time to resume my love of designing and stitching tapestry canvases. Working in cooperation and inspiration alongside additional disciplines, my work is then transferred to other textiles, making my designs accessible and enjoyable to a wider audience. I wish to heighten the awareness of textiles and thread, and to communicate techniques and function. Colour is my obsession. The range of scarves and cushions is called the “Trompe L’Oeil Collection”. Initially, you aren’t aware of the transformation that has evolved. The eye fights sense of touch, but once all is revealed, the fun begins.

My work encompasses many themes and mediums; often inspired by my identity and observations from my surroundings. The recent lockdown period has encouraged a body of work with an appreciation and development of rich studies on the theme of the garden and flora. It looks at the diverse qualities of mark making produced by drawing and painting considered through stitch and fabric. It is an appreciation of the quality of thread and the medium. Often working directly; letting it grow and develop intuitively and spontaneously, I use hand and free machine stitch, as well as fabric collage, where dense layers are built up, achieving subtle variations in tone in a free and expressive way.

I am a knitted textile designer based in Edinburgh, designing and producing a range of knitted cashmere accessories including scarves, hats and blankets. I have been working within Scottish textiles manufacturing for 12 years and I take a lot of inspiration from the traditional processes and techniques the industry is known for. I combine this with a focus on organic and graphic pattern interpreted into a fine gauge knit.My main source of visual inspiration comes from the natural landscape - observing the patterns formed at every level and taking pleasure in the detail and repetition of shape and form at both a micro and macro level. This is developed into jacquard knit patterns through hand drawing in order to maintain an organic and irregular feel. I balance all of this with a touch of geometric inspired pattern and plain colour to create a collection of varied elements.

Michaelson Design printed textiles have previously been inspired by my photography of the built environment. Since moving to rural Fife, however, the history and archaeology of its linen industry have become more influential. For CLOTH#21 I am offering my ‘Ceres’ collection of bags and aprons in Fife linen, with printed designs derived from images of flax fields, the weaving process and the archaeological evidence of past industry. My original collection of silk scarves and squares will also be available. Sadly, the local weaving of Fife linen has been discontinued, so this will be the last of the ‘Ceres’ collection.

The name 'Things in the Studio' developed out of the way in which I produce my prints, and my artwork in general. My studio is full to the brim with stuff. Bits and pieces that I have acquired over time and that have come to accumulate in my space. These things are the material of my work. My practice revolves around and moves forward through my interactions with this stuff. My making happens in reaction to these collected materials; these objects, these fragments that surround me and inform me. The way that I make things is through mutual dialogue with these materials. A lot of the time that just means playing and seeing what happens. Things seem to eventually come together.
