Having originally been trained as a tapestry weaver at Edinburgh College of Art/Heriot-Watt University where she received her BA (Hons) Design degree, Jennifer Bennett has since worked with and taught many traditional textile techniques including natural and chemical dyeing, spinning, weaving and felt making.

Studying these techniques, as used by expert artisans in Iran, Turkey and the Caucasus for thousands of years, has given Jennifer a keen appreciation for these traditional communities and cultures expressed through their textiles and, specifically, through their hand woven rugs and kelims.

For those with an interest in tapestries, the British Tapestry Group recently held an exhibition and a contemporary tapestry conference & workshops entitled “Weaving Within”.

Small format tapestries woven by Members of the British Tapestry Group were displayed. Jennifer also exhibited two of her miniature tapestries at the exhibition, which are shown on this website.
