Weaving Our Stories Together was a heritage project funded by the Alex Ferry Foundation. We worked with community members to collect stories and memories of Anderston, which we then wove into community tapestries. Thanks to everyone who took part.

ALL AGES STORYTELLING WORKSHOP

Vevar is Glasgow’s first micro handweaving mill in over 100 years, the only handweaving studio in Glasgow (there are now other studios) and the product of two award-winning weavers and designers, Christopher McEvoy-Barton and Chantal Allen. Vevar has developed from years of passionate interest in both woven cloth and the rich history of Scottish textiles.
