Rachel Birse

We are delighted to have Rachel's handwoven textile work. She fell in love with Shetland while studying Contemporary Textiles here. The soft light, open skies and shifting colours are the foundations of her work. At a time when textiles are under threat in Shetland, we hope she continues to produce her exquisite work for many years and continues to be a torchbearer for creative textiles. She is an exceptionally gifted artist.
