Contemporary Kiltmaking: What Makes A Kilt takes place at the Scottish Textiles Showcase in Edinburgh. The event features the work of Andrea, whose kilts incorporate vintage fabrics and deadstock alongside classic tartans. Ticket prices are available on the website.
Based in Moray in the North East of Scotland, Andrea's kilts focus on incorporating vintage fabrics and deadstock alongside classic tartans and heritage tweeds in a slow and sustainable means of making that upholds the traditional hand stitched method, now listed as an endangered craft. Andrea's kilts will be on display at the venue, the Scottish Textiles Showcase, 20 St Mary's Street. Located on St Mary’s Street just off Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, Scottish Textiles Showcase offers a curated collection of Scottish knitwear, coats and homeware that blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design - aligning perfectly with the ethos of the Dye, Weave, Pleat collective which promotes a sustainable way of making new kilts and creating true couture pieces using traditional techniques. Ahead of the events, the store will display a selection of kilts created by the Dye, Weave, Pleat artisans, allowing visitors to enjoy these truly exceptional garments and gain an insight into how they are designed and made. The window display will be dedicated to a selection of the collective’s handstitched kilts with contemporary kilt pins by silversmith Kristin Beeler.
