My story
All my life, I have been deeply passionate about Scotland and its rich culture and folklore. In 2007, I established a Highland outfitter business in the Netherlands. Initially, we focused on selling machine-made kilts, but my fascination with the artistry of kilt making led me to enroll in a prestigious kiltmaker’s course in Scotland. I take pride in being the only certified kiltmaker outside the United Kingdom. In January 2024, I proudly launched The Kiltmaker’s Studio, where our sole focus is on creating exquisite handmade kilts, designing custom-made kilts, and conducting workshops for individuals interested in kiltmaking and the timeless allure of tartan cloth.
My Experience
The Studio
I have created The Kiltmaker’s Studio, a dedicated workspace in my home in Blije, the Netherlands. Here, I have curated everything I need to craft kilts and inspire others to do the same. With an extensive collection of tartan fabrics and books, you can find endless inspiration for your craft and even design your own kilt. The Kiltmaker’s Studio is a place where creativity thrives, and a space to foster learning and knowledge-sharing.
Services
Next to the craft of kiltmaking and designing kilts, The Kiltmaker’s Studio also offers workshops that cover a range of kiltmaking techniques. These workshops provide an opportunity to learn the craft in different stages, as well as delve into the rich history and various designs of kilts. Additionally, The Kiltmaker’s Studio provides educational lectures on the trade of kiltmaking, offering insights into the artistry and tradition behind this timeless garment.
Opening hours
The Kiltmaker’s Studio welcomes you from Monday to Friday, between 8am and 4pm. We invite you to let us know if you would like to visit our establishment.
