Hill House

THERE IS SOMETHING INCREDIBLY special about any building designed by Scotland’s foremost architectural genius, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whether it is the Glasgow School of Art that dazzles with its bold sculptural massing and stunning originality or the Mackintosh House with its light-filled, ethereal presence. Yet for me, it is Hill House in Helensburgh that is without doubt his single greatest work.

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
