Kilmartin cushion short

First created for Kilmartin Castle, this pattern tells the story of the ancient sites of Kilmartin Glen in Argyll. Its inspiration comes from the repeating circular forms of the rock art, stone henges, hillforts and burial cairns left by centuries’ worth of human presence in this wild landscape. At its heart is an interpretation of the Glen’s countless cup & ring marks as depicting ripples in water (one of many theories), pierced by a sword from Kilmartin Museum which formed part of a spiritual bog offering.

I proudly hand craft these cushions from start to finish in my studio in the Scottish Lowlands. Each is individually screen-printed with slate ink onto a durable warm grey linen union. They are backed with plain grey pure wool and finished with a zip fastening and plump feather inner.

Size: 12″ x 20″ / 30cm x 50cm

Please note that due to the handmade nature of this product, pattern placement on the cushion you receive may vary from that illustrated. Please also expect possible variations in print finish and colour between batches.
