A few months ago, fellow weaver, Chris Leighton talked to me about the possibility of having a small weaving exhibition somewhere on Skye. Well - it's happened! You can see the lovely work of Chris, @skyeweavers and Caroline Dear along with mine, at Aros in Portree. The exhibition runs until 29th March, 10am - 5pm. Skye Weavers have written a lovely blog on their website if you fancy reading a bit about us and our work. If you're out and about in Portree today, some of the children from Staffin Primary School will be giving a demonstration of waulking (the traditional finishing of tweed accompanied by Gaelic song) from 2pm - 2.30pm. There's then the opportunity to come and have a chat with us about our weaving. Can't wait! :) #skyeweaving #aros #portree #handweaver
Latest piece just off the loom, woven in merino lambswool with a doubleweave structure. The pattern and colour combination is inspired by the sea and the natural columns and blocks of rock at Neist Point. #handwoven #merino #lambswool #smallbusiness #loom #doubleweave #teal #turquoise #sea #islandlife #isleofskye #neistpoint #contemporarycraft #maggiewilliams #ellishaddergallery
I'm absolutely over the moon at being featured in Country Living's Modern Rustic magazine, as one of their 'meet the makers' in the current edition (issue 13) A huge thank you to everyone involved for the lovely write up and for producing such a gorgeous magazine - thank you! #modernrustic #countryliving #meetthemaker #magazine #artisanprofile #isleofskye #smallbusiness #weaver #ellishaddergallery #maggiewilliams #textiledesign
It's that time of year when quite a few are asking when the studio/gallery/tearoom is opening again for the season - well, we open again on 1st April. In the meantime I'm busy weaving, getting stock ready and I'm rather enjoying playing with a bit of doubleweave! #handwoven #merino #doubleweave #lambswool #design #blankets #smallbusiness #isleofskye #hebrides #shopsmall #contemporarycraft #winter
