Over Under and Through the Warp

TWiNE presents: Over, Under and Through the Warp: the Art of Tapestry Weaving, at Leverett Crafts and Arts , Barnes Gallery, Leverett, Massachusetts. 13 Montague Rd, Leverett, MA. Open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, 1-5 PM until April 30, 2023. Martha May - Sauropodees Maria Robinson - Against All Odds Featuring 60 recent works by established tapestry weavers and newcomers, the show emphasizes the versatility and adaptability of the age-old medium for a modern audience. Brenda Osborn - Blown Off Course "When we tell people we are tapestry weavers the first image that comes to mind is a medieval wall covering with unicorns, hanging in a castle," said Martha May. "Our goal is to dispel this thinking and treat the viewer to a contemporary body of work using the same techniques used by weavers of the past." Leslie Black - Wildflowers
