Cordis Tapestry Prizes – Tapestry Showcase 2019
I am delighted to announce that my tapestry ‘Surface Tension‘ has been selected for the 2019/20 Cordis – Tapestry Showcase.
The showcase is held each year in The Scottish Cafe and Restaurant at the National Galleries of Scotland and will open on 27th November and run until mid January.
The object of the showcase is to encourage amateur and emerging weavers, and to celebrate and sell their work in a venue of national prestige.
This is what the judges said:
‘We were delighted to receive a huge number of submissions this year and were hugely impressed by the quality. Less than a quarter of the submitted works made it to the final exhibition, and the works that were selected represent what we feel is a diverse cross section of talent in the amateur weaving community, by budding artists at the earliest stages in their careers.’
