Wendy and I have lots of scarves on display and for sale at Winter Warmth, The Park Gallery and Callender House, Callendar Park, Falkirk.
We were both at the opening today and very well attended it was too! It was lovely to see so many people there, supporting designer makers like us.
Amongst the lovely things to buy are Burra Bears from Shetland, handmade from beautiful shetland wool jumpers. I fell in love with a 12 inch Burra Bear called Ivor 'O'Uptroo (each bear has it's own name) and he came home with me to Glasgow - he's now a city bear! Check out http://www.burrabears.co.uk

The Incorporation of Barber Surgeons, Glasgow
Wendy and I have just completed a commission for a ladies silk twill scarf for the Incorporation of Barber Surgeons in Glasgow. Our design is based on the barbers pole, the design of which is derived from the bandages they would use in their work. We really enjoyed creating this bespoke design and we'd love to do more commission work.
Stockist update!
Pringle & Murray scarves are now available from the Glasgow School of Art shop, Brazen Studios in Glasgow's Merchant City and DCA in Dundee!

Pringle & Murray scarves - 'Urban Fabric' collection launched!
The above image shows Pringle & Murray's first scarf collection! Wendy Murray is a fellow weaver from the Art School and we share a love of architecture and a common aesthetic for bold, graphic and luxurious fabrics.
Inspired by the colours, patterns and textures found in architecture, Wendy’s research sources are the cityscapes of Berlin and London, in particular the colour proportions she observed through her design research. The grey tones of the architecture provide the neutral backdrop to her fabrics with flashes of vibrant, exciting colour taken from grafitti, reflections and urban fabric of the cities.
My sources of inspiration are the cities of Glasgow and Copenhagen, which share the same line of latitude and therefore quality of light. Inspired by the differences in the colour palettes of each city, my fabric’s patterns and colours are taken directly from my observational research and drawings. Whereas Wendy’s fabrics focus on the linear, mine introduce a hand drawn repeat pattern element. This contrast of interpretation gives our collection, ‘Urban Fabric’, its desirability.
The collection is digitally printed on to luxurious wool delaine and silk habotai. Scarves will be made to order and colourways and patterns are interchangeable. The silk squares are especially suited to womenswear. The wool delaine rectangles are unisex. We can also provide a range of sizes if preferred. Please contact us to discuss sizes and costs...
