A little bit of history – Our family have been in this building since 1974 when it was then known as The Quill Gallery. We had a craft shop and gallery which exhibited and sold many local artists’ work from pottery, cards, wooden furniture and artists materials. We also hosted the only Scottish venue for the Society of Designer Craftsmen in London in 1978 as a member of the family was awarded a fellowship of the society. We also held a large craft fair in 1978 which included, spinners, weavers, enamellers, potters, demonstrations of pressed flower card making, and calligraphy.

In November 2005 we then changed to a Textile Gallery called Sew in Stitches where we exhibited and sold textile art supplies, fabrics and local crafts. During this time, we also held textile art exhibitions from groups around the country.

In 2010 we held a large history exhibition of the village which was very popular.

We added The Old Bakehouse Tearoom in 2016 and subsequently opened The Bakehouse Gallery and workshop area in October 2022. We have been holding workshops and classes in the Gallery, and we will continue to add to these in the coming year. The tearoom will be open during exhibitions and craft events and will be advertised in plenty of time, ready for you to add to your diaries!
Thank you for your support over the years, and we look forward to seeing you at these future events.
