Weavathon exhibition opening

The weaving is all done now, thanks to everyone who came along and took part in the weavathon. Here’s an insight into some of the happenings from Craft Town Scotlands’ very own blogger Cara: craft town scotland blog.

I’ve spent this week recovering and finishing the samples- washing, pressing and darning them ready to be hung in the upstairs exhibition space. My 6 weeks here has flown by in a whirlwind of weaving, running and creative flourishes so it’s nice to have some time now to reflect on my time here and think about how this project can develop afterwards- more thoughts on this to follow but first I must get the show ready!

The new exhibition in the main gallery- Modern Languages– opens on Saturday 14th July and the weavathon fabrics will be on display upstairs so you can see the resulting designs and, if you took part, see if you can spot your part in the hand-loom samplers too.

You are invited to the exhibition preview tomorrow afternoon (Friday 13th July, 3-5pm and 6.30-8pm) for drinks and a chance to meet some of the makers and the wonderful team who run the Barony Centre, hope you can make it along!
