About this event
Tapestries have held a fascination for Alex Friedman over many years. She will talk about the arc of her many tapestries starting from the very abstract to the hyper realistic and then back to abstract again with dimension and embellishments. Alex has drawn influence from some of the master classes she has taken as well as looking at the tapestries of other artists. She has explored dimension and texture as well as breaking away from some of the tapestry traditions. It has been a wonderful and thought-provoking journey that she will share with you.
