Nuno Dolly

I have been meaning to visit Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh for a while now and when another blipper mentioned an exhibition I wanted to see was ending today we decided to drive through and see it! The textiles were exquisite with lots of unusual materials and construction techniques, I really enjoyed it!

Here is the blurb from Dovecot Studios website;

Nuno textiles was founded in 1984 and since 1987 Reiko Sudo, as Artistic Director, has steered Nuno to a position of pre-eminence in Japan and internationally. This exhibition shows how Nuno designs respond to the human form and how Nuno works with textile producers to create designs that reflect the importance of cloth for protecting and adorning the body as well as creating social well being.

With sustainability at the heart of Nuno's production values Nuno uses traditional techniques and recycled materials, re-interpreted with cutting edge technology for contemporary life. Reiko Sudo and her design team create some of the most innovative cloth being designed and produced in the world today.

On the downside, Lewis managed to put a massive gouge in one of my alloy wheels!
