GSL LOVES - LOCAL TEXTILE ARTISTS
Textile artist Christopher Duncan talks to writer and craft expert Philip Clarke.
For me, there is a spiritual dimension to weaving. I’m not a Buddhist, but my journey with weaving has been influenced by Buddhist and Taoist philosophies. I’ve learned that there is another approach to textile making, that of the local independent weaver."

WHY COTTON JERSEY BEDDING?
Our customers tell us time and time again how much they love the cosiness of our cotton jersey collection.
