Visserstruien : Traditional Dutch Ganseys

Exhibition of fishermen’s knitwear created by textile expert Stella Ruhe to mark this North Sea phenomenon - an art form and chapter in women’s history which came dangerously close to being forgotten but now inspires contemporary designers, knitters, writers, curators and historians the world over.

The exhibition showcases over 30 of Stella’s hand-knitted garments based on her extensive research of traditional designs.

More on Stella’s work can be found on her website: Traditional Dutch Ganseys

Produced with the generous support of the Anstruther Common Good Fund administered by Fife Council.
