Meet the Designer
TALK & TOUR

- 1300 - 1345
- FREE, unticketed
Join Niela for an informal chat and tour of the Nielanell studio and workshops.
In her own design practice, Niela endeavours to translate into knit that which she feels is the magic of living and working in Shetland today. We'll visit textile, glass and print studios which provide areas where design imagery is generated.

Hoswick Wool Week
Elizabeth Johnston and I have a programmed a wonderful selection of classes with interesting guest tutors at the Hoswick Visitor Centre, just down the road from the Nielanell studio. I'm having a break from teaching classes this year but will be delighted to see you in the studio, instead! Find full details of all Shetland Wool Week classes at the SWW website.
