"Unique Hand Woven Fusion of Culture and Nature" 

This one-of-a-kind art hang weaves together the rich heritage of Portugal and Scotland. Crafted with care and passion, this unique art piece embodies the essence of tapestry and low weaving.

The art hang holds a deeper story within its woven fibers. Inspired by a studio exchange between Scotland and Portugal, it represents the shared passion for craftsmanship and the celebration of cultural diversity. Each thread weaved into this piece represents a thread of connection between these two nations, symbolizing the power of collaboration and artistic expression.

The meticulously sourced wool from Portugal and Scotland forms the foundation of this masterpiece, offering a blend of textures and colors that evoke a sense of warmth and authenticity. As your eyes explore the intricacies of this art hang, you'll discover a delicate dance between the majestic pine trees and the enchanting Stipa gigantea. 

The pine trees, a symbol of resilience and strength, the Stipa gigantea, also known as the giant feather grass, adds a touch of whimsy and ethereal elegance. Their presence invokes a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world.

Its size and design make it a versatile piece that can enhance any living space, whether it be a cozy living room, a serene bedroom, or an inspiring workspace.
