Dovecot Studios is delighted to present British artist Ptolemy Mann as she returns to Scotland with her exhibition featuring her magnificent handwoven rugs and ground-breaking, vibrant Thread Paintings along-side paintings on paper and canvas. 
Over the past 30 years, Mann has built a reputation for her extraordinary approach to textile art which marries the intricate techniques of hand-weaving with vibrant, expressive painting. The exhibition will includes over 20 handwoven rugs and Mann’s most recent, new Thread Paintings.
