With a hand weaving studio based by the River Dee in the North East of Scotland, my work is inspired by the dramatic landscapes and seascapes which surround me. The unique textiles I design and make are created by blending heritage craft techniques with contemporary design. Hand weaving with natural fibres on multi-shaft looms, rug tufting and natural dyeing are just a few of the techniques I use. As I transition my practice towards a fully traceable and sustainable approach, I hope that my designs will connect you with this special place and tell you a story through pattern and colour.

What do you produce?

My work includes original textile artworks, handspun yarns, homewares, and accessories, all inspired by the Scottish landscape. The studio also hosts regular workshops in weaving, spinning, and natural dyeing with guest artists joining throughout the year. Visitors can explore the gallery space, browse products and learn more about traditional textile techniques in a welcoming, creative environment.
