A snippet from my Moroccan journey. KateWhiteheadTextiles‬ © 2015 Kate

I have returned from my Moroccan adventure full of creative inspiration and admiration for the people of Essaouira. I have brought textiles home with me and a knowledge of Moroccan craft and culture that I could only learn first hand. I have made new friends and have many tales to share. Here are a few of the photographs I took.
