'If we trace the artistic form of things made by man to their origin, we find a direct inspiration from if not a direct imitation of nature.'
|
Charles Rennie Mackintosh |
| Working with a wide range of fibres and using a variety of techniques you will design shapes and patterns inspired by features of the movement such as seed pods, poppies, dragonflies and lilies and incorporate them into wearable pieces and interior furnishings. |

Alongside the daily program evening activities will be on offered in natural dying, spinning and weaving.

Newburgh in Fife, Scotland has a history of weaving and with the establishment of Twist Fibre Craft Studio five years ago it is once more a thriving place for textiles. With many artist studios, a gallery and beautiful river walks, it is a place to create, relax and to be inspired.
