Tel. 01851 703307
Tapestry has never gone away, but the new exhibition at An Lanntair is still pitched as something of a revival.
Suas Leis an Oir-Ghreus or Long Live Tapestry! was in fact first shown as Vive le Tapisserie! at the French Institute at the beginning of 2009, which proves in its own way that tapestry is something of an international language.
The exhibition comprises 4 miniatures each by 17 of Scotland's leading tapestry artists. All are members of the newly formed group STAR* (Scottish Tapestry Artists Re-Grouped) and graduates of the tapestry department of Edinburgh College of Art.
The artists are: Archie Brennan, Sara Brennan, Amanda Gizzi, Linda Green, Alice Hannigan, Maureen Hodge, Stephen Hunter, Fiona R Hutchison, William Jeffries, Ellen Lenvik, Birgitta MacDonald, Jo McDonald, Susan Mowatt, Colin Parker, Paul R Penrice, Anna Ray and Joanne Soroka.
