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: Bridget Lane
Influenced by the forms and styles of late Modernism, my work explores landscapes and wild places, balancing abstraction with natural rhythm, using colour, line, and form to evoke a quiet sense of place.Intensity of colour is important, and I am continually exploring how a visually simple form can be enhanced with divergent colour tones.
I aim to challenge traditional boundaries and encourage a reassessment of tapestry as a vibrant, relevant medium within contemporary art.
I’m a selected Member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and feature in the Craft Council and Find A Maker directories.
