Something that I was particularly interested in was
the variety of ways in which the tapestries were displayed. Display
techniques ranged from a pocket through which a rod is inserted and
monofilament attached for hanging, to wood frames with the weavings
inserted, to what may have been
foam or board with the weavings attached over this,
and some possibly even had a backing on them.One was sewn into the open
space of a covered frame. Another especially delicate tapestry was
inserted into a frame which had beautifully created doors that one
could close over the weaving
As a very isolated tapestry weaver, I had never
before seen more than a couple of tapestries displayed together. It's
now been two years since my last 'get together' with fellow tapestry
weavers in Australia, at a workshop to which I traveled 1000 km. This
Convergence was a grand experience for me to add to my tapestry
experiences, and I would do it again.
