Farshid Moussavi Architecture, The Garden Carpet Tapestry, 2025. Commissioned with support from Lesley Knox, The Dovecot Foundation and Creative Scotland.

Tapestry & Nature

Explore how tapestry can capture the natural world with Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh. From traditional ‘millefleurs’ and classical landscapes to contemporary evocations of water, plant life and paradise, this bite-sized online lunchtime talk will transport you to Scotland’s world-renowned tapestry studio in Edinburgh. The talk will feature Dovecot’s recent collaboration with Victoria Crowe (b.1945), one of Scotland’s leading painters whose sensibility for the natural world, and her skill at recording nature with different media has inspired two new artworks of Orkney.

This event is part of Art History Festival 2025 organised by the Association for Art History.
