Our Story

The Bonnie Bide Story

Welcome to Bonnie Bide Fibre Art. I’m Jac, the designer behind Bonnie Bide’s designs. I started my journey with fibre art as a young child. Fibre art being an umbrella term used to describe the many different forms of art using an array of fibres and techniques. My Grandmother, being skilled in many forms of fibre art, passed on her knowledge and techniques to me. We bonded over our shared love of yarn and creativity spending many cherished hours together exploring these art forms. Over the past 30 years I have continued to practice and develop these skills to become competent in many techniques such as weaving, crochet, macrame, sewing, felting, embroidery, hand spun yarn and more.

My designs combine these passed down traditional yarn techniques with modern techniques to create the unique Bonnie Bide signature looks. When purchasing a Bonnie Bide design you are not only getting quality materials and use of techniques, you will be getting a one of a kind artwork available nowhere else.

Bonnie Bide means Beautiful Stay in Gaelic, a nod to my Scottish heritage.
