Jilly’s studio and tapestries Between and Beyond the Walls, Cotton warp, wool, cotton and linen weft, 2015.

 

When it comes to tapestry weaving there are various types of loom but Jilly Edwards prefers a scaffolding loom due to the flexibility in height and tensioning. While she has worked in shared studios in the past she now has her own studio at home.

“Having your own space, where ever that is, that you can walk out of at the end of a day and leave to return to the next day (just as you left it) is magical”
