We all, like sheep: Dovecot Studios's 'Large Tree Group' Tapestry

Yesterday the Fleming Collection previewed their exhibition of Dovecot Studios's tapestry based on the painting Large Tree Group by Victorian Crowe. As well as displaying the tapestry itself the exhibition detailed the making of the work which was produced entirely in Britain. 

Dovecot studios wove the tapestry out of un-dyed yarn, using the fleeces of different breeds of sheep to re-create the sombre sepia palette of Crowe's painting.

The photographer Alicia Bruce documented the creation of the tapestry with images such as the above which shows one of the small groups of artisan weavers who worked on the tapestry.

Furthermore, a series of sheep portraits by Paul Farnham from Katheryn Dun's recent book Beautiful Sheep also featured in the exhibition.

The Julian Opie picnic blanket we produced for Glyndebourne was woven and printed in the UK from New Zealand virgin wool.

Julian Opie for Glyndebourne

A Glyndebourne visitor captured the mischievous sheep jumping the Ha Ha.

MeTube: August sings Carmen 'Habanera'

We love this video from 'MeTube', showing Carmen in a fresh light. That is fresh in the old-fashioned sense of the word... Have a look, go on, we dare you.



We are currently developing our new range for Glyndebourne Opera so watch this space. Last year we created the 'Quercus Operatica' graphic - an Operatic family tree with Glyndebourne-founder John Christie at the base.
