WATERLINE
An online, collaborative project led by Joan Baxter, supported by Nearly Wild Weaving
Both a weaving project and a learning experience, Waterline brings together a small group of tapestry weavers who have each woven their own individual tapestry as one part of a composite tapestry which reflects the theme of the flow of a river.
As a legacy of the project, we exhibited the tapestry as a single artwork, both online and in a ‘real life’ space. We have also created a publication about the project where we pass on our learning from the design and creation process, its “difficulties and delights”, and show our work in progress.
