Woven by Atelier Weftfaced

The Crypt Gallery

An exhibition of recent handwoven tapestry by Atelier Weftfaced: Caron Penney and Katharine Swailes, two leading practitioners in contemporary woven practice. This June we are pleased to present Woven by Atelier Weftfaced as part of Sussex Craft Week from 20 to 28 June at the Crypt Gallery, Ford Road, Arundel. The exhibition brings together new works by both artists, exploring structure, colour and the material presence of woven surface. The scale and stillness of the space offer a contemplative setting in which tapestry can be experienced as both image and object. Weftfaced is a small artist led atelier in the heart of Sussex keeping the craft of hand woven tapestry and textiles thriving. Caron Penney and Katharine Swailes, two leading practitioners in contemporary woven practice, established the studio in 2013. Since then they have been making tapestries to commission for a number of artists including: British abstract painter, Gillian Ayres RA, Dame Tracey Emin and artist & musician Martin Creed. The atelier stands for quality, individuality and exquisitely crafted textiles which offer longevity and uniqueness.
