Janet Hughes has a BA in Industrial Design (textiles) from the Scottish College of Textiles and has run her business Balgarvie Weaving since 2014. Her geometric Esher-inspired designs are immediately recognisable and she sells her work in gallery spaces across Scotland and USA.

Through making contemporary work that deliberately incorporates the beautiful tones of grey and brown of the Brockie wool, it is Janet’s aim to raise awareness of this unnecessary wastage and to get a sustainable and higher price for Scottish farmers.
