I have been weaving tapestries since 1978 and although a few long breaks due to work load while living in London. I have been prolifically sourcing inspiration from my lovely surroundings in South West Wales and further afield.

This beautiful hand woven tapestry is depicting the photograph I took of Porth Iargo, a very pretty inlet on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. The first 5 images are showing the finished tapestry and the back and a detail of the tapestry, the next 2 images show the making of this wonderful tapestry and the last 2 photos show the tapestry again and the original photograph taken of the scene.

Each individual piece I make takes several months to complete and the emotion of seeing this lovely spot comes out fully in my weaving.

I have 2 looms which are made by Le Clerk, a Canadian company who make looms in the style of the famous Gobelin factory in France.

The top of the tapestry is wrapped around a wooden baton , with screws for easy fixing to a wall. Traditionally the backs of tapestries have the ends cut and left and I have added a strip of binding around the edges.

Warp – cotton
Weft – mixed fibers, wool and acrylic
