Just Pleat It!

Monday, 21 August - Friday, 25 August 2023

Join us in the Residency Studio to see what goes into making a kilt

Meet the experts from Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers in Edinburgh and The Edinburgh Kiltmakers Academy, who will be teaching tomorrow’s makers to create exceptional handsewn kilts.

The team will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate how to pleat and pin different tartans, giving you an opportunity to have a go yourself and perhaps sew a pleat or two.

Kilts at different stages of construction will be on display.

Monday, 21 August - Friday, 25 August
