About
West Dean Tapestry Studio, established in 1976, has developed an outstanding portfolio of work with leading contemporary artists. The exhibition will shine a light on both artist and Master Weaver with equal intensity and explore how a dialogue and language is established between both parties. Works on display will include commissions with leading contemporary artists Tracey Emin, Michael Brennand-Wood, Basil Beattie, and Henry Moore alongside original work by the Studio’s Master Weavers, as well as new pieces by artists Rebecca Salter and Biggs & Collings, both working in tapestry for the first time and commissioned specifically for the show.
