Artist of the day: Jillian Morris
I learnt tapestry weaving with Bobbie Cox, but having also done 'the Bradford course' [design for hand loom weaving] most of my woven work has been on table looms. I really enjoy combinations of different yarns and how they interact, and my interest in weaving with paper yarns began when using African bank notes as inspiration for one of the course modules. More recently I have mixed paper yarns with more conventional ones in small tapestries, sometimes as mixed media pieces.At our 2019 exhibition the Peter Tavy Guild of W/S/D paid tribute to Bobbie, who had been our founding president.
