Alex Friedman Tapestry

Saturday, March 14 from noon to 5. The Industrial Center Building will have an Artist at Work day. Come watch artists at work and ask your questions. Free parking. Industrial Center Building, 480 Gate 5 Road, Sausalito, CA. I’ll be in studio 205 making a new tapestry.

I have been asked what my loom looks like so here it is, an 8' (2.45m) Shannock loom. They come in a variety of sizes 2-20' but I am not sure if they are still being made.

Making a Damascus edge on my tapestry I wish I could be as speedy as this little clip

Hot off the loom! Now for all the hemming and neatening up to prepare it for hanging. #Tapestry #tapestryweaving #tapestryart #arttextiles #Fiberart #contemporarycraft #contemporarytextile #finecraft #decorativearts #icbaa #Alexfriedmantapestry #icbartists #aqsfriedman

Finished my tapestry so soon I will cut it off and see it in full for the first time! Then there’s lots of finishing work to do: sewing in the ends, hemming it, and mounting it with Velcro. Stay tuned. #walltapestry #tapestry #pandemiclife #interiordesign #marinartist #icbartists #handwoven #decor #icbaa #natureinspired #fiberartistsofinstagram
