Review: William Jefferies : A Life In Tapestry
Exhibition Morley Gallery, London 20 January to 7 February 2026 Review by Ngaire Thomson, January 2026 As an ex-student of William Jefferies, I must firstly declare that I have a positive bias towards any work that William produces, I find his work inspirational and this exhibition does not disappoint...

Artist of the week: Alastair Duncan
My work expresses my feeling about conflict and communication. While the work is abstract, I do not think of it in this way, but rather as a realistic representation of what is in my thoughts. Different elements of a design may represent different things, but we all have our own perspectives!Originally trained in tapestry weaving and design at Cleveland College of Art, Alastair moved to Wales in 1983 where he established a studio in Swansea's Maritime Quarter. He went on to develop his professional practice completing numerous major commissions for the corporate, private and public sectors with clients such as the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks, City and County of Swansea, Monmouthshire County Council and many more.
