About
My name is Shielagh Tacey. I was born in Leicester and now live and work in Glasgow, Scotland, where I hand weave things including scarves, shawls and cushions using my wooden, Schacht Baby Wolf loom.
I studied Visual Communication (Illustration) at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2006 with BA(Hons)Design First Class. I am also a qualified primary school teacher. I enjoy using these skills working with schools and local community arts organisations in Glasgow.
In 2008 I visited my Aunt, Fran Curran at the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center in New England, USA. She is an extremely talented handweaver and kindly taught me the basics of weaving during my stay. On my return to Glasgow I decided to devote myself to developing my weaving skills and have been captivated by the endless possibilities of colour, weave structures and types of yarn ever since.
