<\/strong>What is Tapestry Weaving?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Tapestry is a form of textile art, which according to textile historians has been practiced for more than two thousand years! Traditionally woven on a vertical loom (wooden frame)\u00a0and simple tools, yet tapestry weaving can create intricate designs, sometimes using hundreds of different colors to make realistic pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it can also be woven on a floor loom as well. It is composed of two sets of interlaced threads, those running parallel to the length (called the warp) and those parallel to the width (called the weft); the warp threads are set up under tension on a loom, and the weft thread is passed back and forth across part or all of the warps. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible.<\/p>\n

In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design.<\/p>\n

Most weavers use a naturally based warp thread such as linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton, but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives.<\/p>\n

About the Tutor – Frances Crowe<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"About-frances\"<\/a>

Image: www.francescrowe.com<\/p><\/div>\n

I am based in the West of Ireland in my idyllic studio in Roscommon.\u00a0I work in a variety of materials, paint, collage, mixed media, but my primary thought process is in fibres. I like to collect materials such as wool, rope, cotton, and twist and weave them together to form individual, original \u0003works of art.<\/p>\n

Tapestry weaving crafted in the ancient way can give warmth and vibrancy \u0003to any space.<\/p>\n

The art of handwoven tapestry is many thousands of years old and, in that time, the technique has remained virtually unchanged. What has changed and evolved over the centuries is the way in which the medium is used, the purity of its design and execution and the esteem it commands in society as a whole.<\/p>\n

Working in the medium of tapestry demands many days and months of solitary labour in the production of one piece, but it is this very thing that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frances Crowe works from her studio in Grange, Co. Roscommon.\u00a0A graduate of NCAD, Frances has taken part in numerous exhibitions\u00a0both solo and in groups in her career.<\/p>\n

Frances has been commisioned to create her unique artwork nationwide,\u00a0including commissions for Government Offices; Roscommon,\u00a0Glanbia; Kilkenny, The Heritage Trust, Guinness Hops Store; Dublin\u00a0and Gateway Lodge, Connemara.
