Dovecot Tapestry Studio leads a series of weaving masterclasses in Clothworkers’ Hall alongside the sensuous and lustrous tapestry The Caged Bird’s Song, created with the Turner Prize-winning artist Chris Ofili. Participants will have an opportunity to discover the creative process of weaving a tapestry, as Dovecot’s Master Weavers describe the process and skills required to translate Chris Ofili’s watercolour pigment into woven wool. The session will include a weaving demonstration and opportunity to try some weaving yourself on a sample loom.
This event is generously supported by The Clothworkers’ Company.
