Islay-born Heather Dewar combines the role of artist and interviewer, creating colour portraits of well-known Gaels while teasing out of them every little detail of their life story!
Heather travels to Mull where she meets Eleanor MacDougall. Eleanor was raised in Lochaber, but Mull is her grandmother’s native isle, and she moved here after graduating from art school. She is a talented silversmith who has been running her own business on the island for many years.
Tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir a Ìle air ais air an sgrion le sreath ùr de “Dhealbhan Fraoich”. An dà chuid na tè-ealain agus na ceasnaiche, tha i a’dèanamh dealbhan dathte de Ghàidheil air a bheil sinn eòlach – agus a’tàladh asta iomadh sgeul mu eachdraidh am beatha.
Sa phrògram seo tha Fraoch a’siubhal gu Muile far an coinnich i ri Eleanor NicDhùghaill. Ged is ann an Lochabar a rugadh sa thogadh Eleanor, bhuineadh a seanmhair do Mhuile, agus thàinig i fhèin a dh’fhuireach ann as dèidh ceumnachadh ann an sgoil nan ealan. Tha i na ceàrd-airgid air leth sgileil, aig an stiùir air a gnothachas fhèin air an eilean fad bhliadhnaichean.
