I had a wonderful few hours with the very talented Jennifer Licko—Celtic vocalist, songwriter and creator and producer of Highland Echoes, a celebration of Scottish music, dance and storytelling.

We’re planning an affiliation that we hope will benefit future Highland Echoes shows. I’m excited to see where this connection leads. More to come—watch this space! ✨🧶🎶

It’s been a wonderfully woolly few years! I’ve started up in a new home studio (the commute is excellent, although I keep getting distracted by the kettle), got back into screen printing, and taught lots of tartan courses — including the ever-popular Weaving the Journey beginners’ course.

We’ve woven, designed, tangled, untangled, and occasionally admired a knot while pretending it was meant to look like that. It’s all part of the creative process. Obviously. 🧶

Now it’s time to try something different for 2027. Introducing Challenge 2027!

What would you like me to teach next? It needs to be weaving-related, have a bit of tartan design in the mix, and most importantly, be fun. A new class? A creative workshop? A wonderfully bonkers weaving challenge? I’m all ears — and they’re not full of yarn. Yet.

Drop your ideas in the comments. They can be clever, silly, ambitious, or “I want to weave a tartan for my cat”. No idea is too out there… although weaving while holding a cup of tea may require a risk assessment. ☕️

Help me dream up something brilliant for 2027 — I’ll see what I can weave into reality. Sorry. That pun was inevitable.

✨ Try your hand at weaving! ✨

November classes are now available on Craft Courses — or message me directly to book.

Looking for an early Christmas gift, or something special to enjoy before the festive rush? A weaving class is a lovely way to try something new and make something by hand.

I can personalise classes too, adding an extra touch of magic to make the experience feel special. 🎁🧶

It’s been a busy week in the studio, and the weaving classes are still going strong! 🧵

With classes continuing through the end of the year, I’ve updated the price for a full day’s session to £95. That includes a whole day of weaving, learning and probably saying, “I’ll just finish this bit…” at least a few times! 😄

There’s also a special guest joining me in the studio this week. I’ll share more details soon, so keep an eye out!

With winter on its way, it’s the perfect time to get cosy and creative. There are still places available for November classes and Christmas weaving in December. Come and have a go at the loom — it’s much more fun than arguing with the heating!

Message me for details or to book your place.

Before I get asked… no BlackLight project is not AI it’s a genuine project and the DCA print lab. The images uploaded get a bit of a tweak for illustration but everything I do is printed by hand these prints once framed and hand-finished will be on sale next year.

Black Light Continuum — Stage III

Today I’m testing different designs and layers of ink, moving the work from paper onto tartan. It’s exciting to see how the imagery changes as it meets the cloth.

Next, I’ll experiment with decolourant paste to create a reactive surface on the textiles and see how it shifts the tartan beneath the print.
