Tiree Tapestry Group was a community group, active from 2011 – 2016 on the Isle of Tiree, off the west coast of Scotland.
Our mission was to get people together on Tiree to make a community tapestry. We aimed to celebrate all aspects of Tiree life and to learn and share textile skills with each other along the way.
The 12-panel Tiree Tapestry was completed in June 2014 after three years of work, and now hangs in An Talla, Tiree’s community hall. You can read more about it here.
Accounts of some of our meetings and workshops are preserved here on the TTG blog >>
