Heallreaf is an old English word meaning ‘a tapestry hung in a public place.’ I was lucky enough to be a juror for Heallreaf 4. The tapestry exhibition aims to promote excellence in this handwoven medium and I had the pleasure of looking at tapestries large and small, figurative and abstract. The exhibition will travel to three venues in the UK and features 37 artists from 11 countries. I’ll share the winner with you next week but in the meantime here are the dates. Whether you are a weaver, an art student or would simply like to see the complexity and textures of this beautiful art form, it is well worth a visit.
