Studio envy - Marie Bruhat’s Studio Bothy at her croft on Fair Isle provides additional space for her knitwear business. Some lovely photos in the article.
“I was fortunate enough to receive a grant from Highland and Islands Enterprise to partly cover the cost of building a new studio for my business. I wanted to create something that looks good in the landscape and will last a long time. This is the first new building erected on Fair Isle for several years so it needed to improve the croft and provide something that will benefit future generations.”
