Stitchtopia Festival

Check in to your room from 3pm.

Get to know your fellow guests over dinner and come and meet the festival team and experts in the Festival Hub this evening.

Relax after dinner with a talk from Pat Archibald. Pat is a UK textile artist and tutor based in Edinburgh. Pat loves to travel both around her home country as well as further afield. As her own horizons grow literally, then so too do the experiences that she can then express in her quilt making. Pat will talk about her many years’ experience as a textile artist and tutor, and what happens when this combines with her second love, travel.

Enjoy your pre-booked workshops or make the most of the hotel facilities including the gym, swimming pool and 18-hole golf course.

This afternoon, Jane Crowfoot will be hosting a pop-up shop. Come along for patterns, kits, yarn packs, books and more!

After dinner, join with your fellow guests for the optional evening entertainment. Jane Crowfoot trained as a constructed textile designer, has worked within the craft industry for the last 30 years and is recognised as one of the leading designers within her field, more recently acknowledged as one of the pioneers of the UK crochet revival. Jane will show examples of her work and talk about her design process, as well as her mission to highlight the differences between homemade and handmade, the importance of recognising yarn crafts as a stage for creativity, and the validation of traditional skills.

Enjoy your pre-booked workshops or make the most of the hotel facilities including the gym, swimming pool and 18-hole golf course. Workshops will finish at 4pm.
