Lynn Gray Ross lives in Scotland on the Isle of Arran, where she established the Silverbirch Spinning and Weaving Workshop in 1981 to teach traditional textile crafts. In addition to teaching adults in the UK, US and Europe, she has developed award-winning projects with local schools. Her work is exhibited and collected internationally and she has been involved in such high profile commissions such as a community tapestry for the 1995 United Nations Conference on Women in Beijing.
Ross, an expert weaving instructor with numerous years of
experience, brings her knowledge of the art of hand weaving to a
wider audience in her first book. Ross has tremendous respect for
her craft’s rich history, and the photographs are beautiful.
