Part of the Tall Ships Collection, DUNKIRK uses microscope imagery of individual sand grains at 50x and 100x magnification. I photographed a sand sample from Dunkirk under my microscope and picked out my favourite grains to create this textile - essentially creating my own sand! Seaglass, carnelians, rose quartz and fluorite can all be found in this textile. Dunkirk also features the handwritten coordinates of where the sand was collected.
This light velvet infinity scarf is a lightweight version of the bestselling Agate & Ayre plush velvet infinity scarf. Perfect for the Spring and Summer months, it has the same soft and tactile properties as our usual velvet but in a lighter weight. Available in a very limited run of 4 scarves, these are made to order and will be dispatched within 2 weeks.
These are long enough to wrap around twice for a snug, cosy hug around your neck. You'll be amazed by just how soft this plush fabric is and the incredible detail of the prints. Scarf is approximately 15cm wide, loop is 145cm. Machine washable at 30 degrees. A colour catcher is advised to prolong the vibrancy of the print. Do not iron or tumble dry.

This textile is part of the Tall Ships Collection, a project inspired by sand samples from the stops along the Tall Ship Race Route. April was one of 6 makers selected by Aberdeen Art Gallery to develop a body of work celebrating the Tall Ships Race returning to Aberdeen. Each Tall Ships Collection piece comes with its own limited edition label explaining the collection, and is currently only available through Aberdeen Art Gallery or in limited numbers from the Agate & Ayre webstore.
