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: Deborah Pawle
I work with textiles and mixed media but I am predominately a tapestry weaver. Most of my work uses muted colours, some dyed using my own natural dyes, and is heavily influenced by the environment surrounding me. The textural element of tapestry is important to me enhanced by the use of driftwood and other found objects in many of my tapestries. I work intuitively, sometimes using photos or sketches as memory aids.The work is mostly small scale using predominately natural yarns, cotton, silk and nettle.
