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: Diane Parsons
I have been doing tapestry for just over two years and am self-taught, I find it incredibly challenging and am thoroughly enjoying it. I particularly enjoy creating portraits from photographs. Each time I start a new project I try to concentrate on one particular aspect so that I improve step by step. I would also like to eventually create a project whereby the back is almost identical to the front - it is a task, but one which I so enjoy trying to accomplish.I am a retired train driver, I also love sport (particularly athletics).
