About the tutor: Lucy is a woven tapestry artist who weaves from her studio in Letchworth Garden City.
It is important to Lucy to maintain a sustainable art practice by recycling an upcycling fibres, this has become an integral part of how she works and has a direct effect on the design and size of a piece. Her work is woven using good quality waste fibres, either from a craft stash, a box at the back of the garage, or from yarn suppliers and rug manufacturers.
A member of The British Tapestry Group, the Wynd Gallery and various textiles associations, Lucy regularly exhibits locally and nationally, along with delivering talks, workshops and courses.
