BTG held its annual AGM in Sedbergh, Cumbria on Saturday 8 October 2022, 10:30 - 12:30 and, after a lunch break,
we headed over to Farfield Mill for the 'Meet the Makers' event 14:00 - 16:00 at the 'Waterline' Exhibition.

'Window on Weaving' goes online: this new feature enables us to curate tapestry art into display 'walls', as they would be in an actual exhibition.

Mike Wallace, Hampshire: "I take inspiration from both geometric forms with their inherent symmetry, and also from the more irregular shapes, textures and colours of the environment around us."

Kevin Halliwell, Edinburgh: "I am especially interested in the cutting and shaping of tufted (turkish knot) yarn and other manipulations in order to create interesting and striking surface textures."

Gillian Morris, Clackmannanshire, Central Scotland: "My tapestry weavings often focus upon reinterpreting natural forms and surfaces through abstraction. I create around the theme of reinvention, of creating new relationships and ways of seeing."

Jennifer Woolnough, Hertfordshire: "I am a textile artist currently drawing inspiration from the movement of water, attempting to capture fleeting images in the form of abstract shapes from the ebb and flow and light upon the surface."
