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...

Tapestry Weaver and Fungi Dye artistI love to weave. To follow an idea through and make it happen by interweaving fibres and creating textures is very special. I am inspired by land and sea, colour, ancient cultures and their marks. I have always been attracted to colour,texture and fabric.
I dye my fibres with fungi found in Scotland.The dyes provide a wonderful rich pallette to weave with.This interest has taken me on many journeys across Australia,Scandinavia, Baltic countries and the USA, thus opening up new pathways to creative interpretation.
