I love to weave and follow an idea through by interweaving fibres and creating textures. Scotland is special, its mountains, coastline, standing stones are the basis for many weavings. I have also travelled and explored many out of the way places in Australia, Syria, Turkey, Armenia.

Dyeing with Fungi - Since 1990 I have been dyeing wool and silk using mushrooms/ bracket fungi. This new dye source was discovered in the 1960's. In the gallery you can see the range of colours I get from my dyepots. The next International Fungi & Fibre Symposium is in 2027 in Europe. For more information look online for The Mushroom Color Atlas or Mushrooms for Color.
Learn to identify fungi by joining your local fungi group eg ELFE- Edinburgh & Lothians Fungi Enthusiasts. This is the essential first step on your journey to understanding and finding dye fungi!
