<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Archie Brennan began his 60-year weaving career at Dovecot and went on to become the undisputed master of modern tapestry. However, he has not gained the recognition he deserves and continues to be one of the greatest unrecognised British artists of the 20th century. To realise the first major exhibition of his work in the UK (scheduled to open at Dovecot in March 2021), we have launched an Art Happens campaign with the Art Fund to raise £20,000.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The BTG, British Tapestry Group, are joining with ATA, American Tapestry Alliance, as a joint initiative. In these difficult times we would like to reach out to weavers across the world to applaud and give our thanks to the medical professions, the ancillary workers and the ordinary people who are working to keep us, the people, fed and healthy and a message to other weavers that we are all in this together, united, hand in hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our applause would be in the form of a small tapestry (or it might be a detail of a larger tapestry you are already working on). The theme would be to symbolise reaching out in friendship around the world. Some may like to do a rainbow, or a hand, heart, flower, bird and so on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you would like to take part, then post a photo of your tapestry to social media with one or all of the hashtags below. Don’t forget to include your name and country so we can see who and where you are!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-size: large;">Fitting their work to Cromford Mills, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, exhibitors focused on themes of industrial archaeology, social history and landscapes of Northern England. Long-established weavers, internationally acclaimed artists who generally work to commission, relative novices, and children (young carers and recently arrived refugee children from Iraq and Syria) all came together under the banner of Fabric of the North, to produce an amazing vision of Northern England.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

In the interview, Thoma describes how she became a tapestry artist and relates the experiences leading up to creating The Vision Weave Project, a community tapestry project that Moon Rain Centre has done with thousands of school children. <br /><br /><a fg_scanned="1" href="https://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a262bca58ac27568836abaac8&id=30bbcadccd&e=fcf5347770" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #007c89;">https://www.gistyarn.com/blogs/podcast/episode-102-tapestry-weaving-in-quebec-with-thoma-ewen</span></a><br /><br />(the podcast was made before the closures came into effect)<br /><br /><br /><strong>And a feel good message from children: “ca va bien aller” - “it’s going to be OK”</strong><br /><br />All over Quebec, children are hand-colouring pictures of rainbows in all sizes, and writing the title “ca va bien aller” and posting them in windows of homes and apartments. Children are sending out a message of hope to their communities.<br /><br />We saw these rainbow pictures last Friday when we drove to Buckingham, Quebec to pick up much-needed tools and equipment from the school in which we had been doing the community project ”Constellation”. I was so moved to see these rainbow pictures in all sizes, remembering that The Vision Weave Project often uses a rainbow colour scheme. Thank you to all the children for communicating hope.

Mme Ewen transmet la sagesse autochtone ancienne qui considère le tissage comme une voie sacrée. Elle illustre avec une grande clarté comment la tapisserie joue un rôle<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> vital dans le monde contemporaine en y apportant beauté, paix et harmonie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Le maître tapissier Jean Lurçat (1892-1966) dit un jour : « La tapisserie est le rêve que nous accrochons sur nos murs. » Cet art ancien renaît aujourd'hui non seulement pour son attrait décoratif et architectural, mais aussi grâce au talent d'une nouvelle génération d'artistes qui s'y intéressent. Ainsi, <i>NEW ART OF THE LOOM, Tapisserie internationale contemporaine</i> révèle les rêves de tisserands contemporains, combinant les techniques anciennes à une nouvelle forme d'expression artistique émergente. <u></u><u></u></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
