Join artist Eva Rothschild and weavers Alison Doherty and Dylis Stanton for a discussion about Henry Moore's unique tapestries.
Henry Moore worked across multiple mediums including sculpture, drawing, textiles and graphic works, as well as experimenting in scale in the transition from one medium to another. One of Moore’s most unique approaches to developing his creative ideas was adapting drawings into large tapestries.
These tapestries were produced in collaboration with Dovecot Studios in Scotland in 1950, and Brose Patrick Studio between 1971 and 1974. A further 23 tapestries were woven at West Dean College in Sussex between 1976 and 1986.
Join artist Eva Rothschild for a conversation with weavers Alison Doherty and Dylis Stanton, who worked with Moore on the West Dean Tapestries. Against the backdrop of Moore's tapestries in the Aisled Barn, they'll discuss how these artworks were made with the West Dean weavers, as well as Rothschild’s experience working with West Dean for her Sadler's Wells East tapestry commission.
