The weaver draws inspiration from the landscape and rich culture of Scotland. As Sam stated: “I follow a well trodden path that continues to draw connections between the diverse Scottish landscape and the cloth that I make”.
Weaving woollen cloth has been an essential part of Scottish life for centuries, evolving from handwoven domestic production of the 17th century to mechanised mass production during the Industrial Revolution. Classic cheviots, rustic homespun-style tweeds, robust Estate tweeds, as well as the finest woollen cloths remain a staple of the Scottish textile industry. They provide warmth, protection, style, and comfort, while also reflecting craftsmanship, provenance, and individuality amidst a world of mass production. While pockets of mechanised production developed in the Highlands and north east of Scotland, thousands flocked to the newly established mass production mills in the lowlands. Claiming to be the oldest firm of loom makers in the world, Geo Hattersley and Sons developed the Hattersley Domestic loom in parallel with a whole range of sophisticated specialist textile machinery. Originally developed for export to the colonies in the late 19th Century, the Hattersley Domestic is a compact, semi-automated foot-treadle loom. While evolutions in textile manufacturing grew at a higher pace with the advances in water, steam and coal power, the Hattersley Domestic ensured pockets of production remained in remote rural settings where individuals and communities could continue to produce commercial cloth and remain on the land
