Join Kate Grenyer in conversation with the friends and family of Archie Brennan including Nicolas Oddy, Head of Design History at Glasgow School of Art, to celebrate the life and work of tapestry trail blazer, Archie Brennan.
Hear from those who knew him best, weavers he inspired and a new generation of artists, designers and curators who continue to be influenced by Brennan’s legacy. The event is an opportunity to see a sneak peek of the first-ever retrospective dedicated to his work Archie Brennan: Tapestry Goes Pop! at Dovecot Studios.
