This event will feature Artist Christine Borland and Dovecot Master Weaver Naomi Robertson in conversation with Professor Andrew Patrizio, and will be introduced by Celia Joicey, Director of Dovecot Studios. As one of the first of several events exploring the tapestry, they will discuss creativity, collaboration and what it means to make a piece of artwork that honours the achievements of important, and potentially overlooked, women in history.

Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh is the UK’s oldest tapestry studio, which has enjoyed global acclaim for artworks created in collaboration with artists from David Hockney and Chris Ofili to Helen Frankenthaler and Alberta Whittle.

*Please note this event will be held at the Edinburgh Futures Institute.*
