What's on
Textile Conservation Masters Fundraiser
I'm raising funds towards my Masters Degree in Textile Conservation at the University of Glasgow starting this September. Find out all about it here and receive a link/password to access a digital copy of my Icelandic Textile Residency book as a thank you for the support.
​​​Open Studio Days
May 10th & 11th from 10am - 4pm.
July 19th from 10.30am - 4.30pm.​​​
​​
New Collection At Crathie Gallery
Visit Crathie Gallery from late March to find the new collection inspired by nearby Albert's Cairn and the colours of the Scottish Cairngorm Mountains.​
Support My Fundraiser!
From September I will begin studying at the University of Glasgow on a masters program in Textile Conservation. I’m hoping to help raise funds to go towards the course fees which total £31,000 over the two years.
I thought this would be a really nice way to share the book I made during my 10 week residency in Iceland so each person to donate will receive a link and password to an online copy of my 145 page “Icelandic Textile Residency” book as a thank you. There’s no time limit, you can access the page as many times as you like for as long as you like! The book details my stay at the textile residency centre as well as my travels around the country during my time there. Beautiful scenery, fibre art and a few travel tips too!
I’ll be adding photos and updates to my Ko-fi blog over the next few months on the conservation volunteering work I’m doing at Castle Fraser as well as updates on the course itself once it begins.
About
Arra Textiles | Lucy
With a studio based 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.
