The British Tapestry Group will be holding its next exhibition WOVEN THREADS at the Orleans House Gallery / The Stables in Twickenham (South West London) from 7 July to 23 October 2011.

The jury had to choose from 99 entries / 64 artists and selected 51 tapestries from 44 artists. The selectors were Mark de Novellis – Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at Orleans House Gallery, Liz Cooper  - Touring Manager at the Hub, National Centre for Craft and Design, Sleaford, and Thomas Cronenberg, tapestry weaver, journalist and committee member of the European Textile Network (ETN).

One of my pieces, BLUE ON BLUE, was selected for the exhibition. If you are not familiar with the group, please look at our website www.thebritishtapestrygroup.co.uk.

News Teaching

TAPESTRY CLASSES

I teach twice a year at HANDWEAVERS STUDIO & GALLERY in London.

With an emphasis on 3-D effects, techniques include hatching and various types of soumak, weaving irregular shapes, warp pulling and adding a supplementary warp.

All levels welcome.

For dates and bookings please email courses@handweavers.co.uk.

TAPESTRY CLASS IN PUGLIA, ITALY
12–17 September 2012

I have received an invitation to teach a tapestry class at the beautiful Masseria Della Zingara in Puglia / Italy.

We will explore all the traditional tapestry techniques with an emphasis on moving into a third dimension by warp pulling, incorporating wires and weaving irregular shapes.

All levels welcome.

A detailed course outline will follow soon, but in the meantime you could get some information, lovely photographs of the house and its surroundings at www.masseriadellazingara.com or contact Ms Jan King: jan@twistedthread.com.
