Papilionaceous will be at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey 9-11 June 2023.

Silk Ribbon weaving has been included on the Heritage Crafts 2023 Edition of the Red List of Endangered Crafts and as one of the very few silk ribbon weavers in the UK we will be in the Heritage Crafts Marquee.

Silk weaver Robert Ely’s exhibition ‘Works in Silk’ is on now at Whitchurch Silk Mill, Hampshire.

Open Tuesday – Sunday until 3 July 2022
