Tapestry weaver Petra Kolinova

Petra Kolinova has been weaving for almost three decades and still starts each tapestry with an inspiration from one of her paintings.

” I draw on paper on a small scale. If I decide to weave a tapestry based on the painting, I would draw a larger sketch on to cardboard. I’m constantly thinking about the colours and the details in the middle of the process of weaving.”
