Crafted by Juniper

Hi, I'm Nicky and I sell my handcrafted items as Crafted by Juniper.

I am extremely lucky to live on a croft outwith the village of Strathpeffer, where I am able to immerse myself in, and draw inspiration from, the natural beauty that is Highland, Ross-shire.

I would describe myself as a self-taught ‘Jack of all trades’ when it comes to crafts, and often combine my multi-faceted interests of; tailoring, dressmaking, fabric manipulation, fleece preparation, spinning, dyeing, weaving, knitting, eco and botanical printing, ink making, applique, embroidery, collage…with my own stories in prose to create unique items of both wall art and wearable pieces.

Being conscious of my footprint in nature I choose to minimalise the impact my activities have on my environment and use locally sourced materials where possible. Much of my work features yarn prepared by me from fleece produced within a mile of my home. In addition to the yarns and fabrics I create, I also utilise and repurpose used materials and so help to extend the use of previously made textiles.

My workroom, often bathed in sunlight, is packed tightly with looms, spinning wheel, sewing machines, and books, many, many, books!
