Shetland Textile Museum

Our Museum attracts a team of regular volunteers, without whom it would simply be an interesting, listed building full of glass-encased exhibits. The majority of our volunteers are craftspeople, often prizewinners.

However, other volunteers also maintain a beautiful garden - challenging in the Shetland climate- supply a gift shop full of unique, high-quality items, provide home-bakes to share, help our Seasonal Custodian with housekeeping, set up new exhibitions, organise the Archive and library, help with IT, or take photographs for the website and advertising.
