Arran artist Josephine Broekhuizen has decided to expand and diversify her artistic talents to provide a new curtain-making service for the island.
She has just successfully completed a curtain-making course at the National Design Academy in Nottingham and plans to offer a full range of drapery services, from standard curtains to the grander-sounding swags and tails. Tie-backs and pelmets, Roman blinds and alterations are all part of this successful painter’s newest palette.
Fabric and material is nothing new to Dutchborn Josephine. Growing up in Holland, her father ran a very successful sleeping- bag and down manufacturing business. Bolts of material were part of her family background. Consequently, familiarity with fabric, threads and sewing machines were an integral part of her upbringing.
