Bridget Lane tapestry weaving

About me….

I am a weaver specialising in hand woven tapestry, based in London, UK.

Having worked in book publishing for several years, I enjoy passing on stories to readers. Through my travels for work, I have been privileged to meet generous individuals who introduced me to different worlds and cultures. All of these experiences have added layers to my personal story. While visiting an exhibition of contemporary tapestry weaving, my eyes were opened to a different way of communicating stories. 

Influenced by the forms and styles of late Modernism, my work explores landscapes and wild places, either physical or spiritual. Through a deconstructed view, I strip away extraneous details to convey an essence of the most basic elements, such as colour, line and form.

Since completing the Developing Skills and Creative Language in Tapestry Weaving Course at West Dean College of Art and Conservation and winning the Cordis Prize Showcase for Emerging Artists, I have exhibited work in the UK and Australia. I’m a selected Member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and the Find A Maker directory. My weaving practice is balanced with teaching tapestry classes, helping others to find their own journey in woven textiles.
