It’s been years since I’ve contributed to this blog. Archie continues to fill my time in wondrous ways, and I hope to begin sharing more things here. This post is not directly about Archie, but it is about the Dovecot Studios. The weavers have recently completely a 3-dimensional triptych tapestry celebrating the first seven women to attend university in Scotland to study medicine. It is an ephermal piece that depicts motion and fluidity with intensely saturated colors. I plan to see it in person in July. Meanwhile, how lucky some people will be to attend the opening later this month.

The Dovecot continues to honor the wisdom and creativity that Archie brought to tapestry, and his unique ability to keep a rather rare artform viable in modern times.

Every time I sit at the loom I think of Archie along with several of the Wednesday Group weavers who inspired me with the generosity we all shared with each other.
