NEW DIRECTIONS
​October 2021 marks Tapestry Touring International’s first invitation only online exhibition. As we all know, Covid has brought chaos to organising gallery based shows so Lindsey Marshall and I decided online was the answer. Weavers were asked to design and weave a tapestry taking New Direction, and explain that new direction in up to 8 words.
Heartfelt thanks go to all the UK, Canadian, Australian, American and Danish weavers for supporting this new venture. Yet again thanks to Lindsey Marshall for the online curation.
