On March 15th I attended the opening of the Cordis Prize for Tapestry 2019 in Edinburgh - a wonderful celebration of contemporary tapestry, and a much needed high profile focus on the medium.
The following day I was invited to give a Paper titled 'Contemporary Tapestry - finding its place?' to the supporting Conference 'The Thread Runs Both Ways'. Unfortunately snow had started to fall overnight and continued to fall heavily throughout the morning. This did not affect the audience, but did mean that I had to leave directly after giving my paper in order to catch one of the last trains leaving Edinburgh for London before the snow closed the lines.
