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: Anna Wetherell
I am inspired by landscape and nature, light and shadow, colour and pattern. My tapestries try to capture the essence of something I have seen, or a place I have been, re-interpreting it, sometimes abstracting it, especially if there is a particular colour palette or yarn I wish to explore. I use photography, drawing and writing to develop ideas and themes. A geologist and ecologist by training, I am drawn to history, water, wild places - and rocks!I have been weaving since 2013, attending courses in Orkney, at West Dean and Higham Hall, amongst others, benefiting from the wide-ranging knowledge and experience of a number of our UK based weavers.
