SUMMARY:The Bristol Tapestry: A Stitch in Time
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol Tapestry was made by a group of local stitchers in the 1970s. It depicts the history of Bristol.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Bristol Tapestry was the idea of Mrs Jean Tanner and Mrs Marjorie Bleasedale in the late 1960s to record important events from the city’s past. \nBy 1976 the project was complete\, having involved over 90 local people. In fact it’s not a tapestry at all\, but includes many different embroidery stitches\, appliqué techniques and screen printing. \nThe four panels\, which total 22 metres in length\, depict nearly 1000 years in 27 scenes. In 1999 the Tapestry came to its present home at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. The events chosen and the story they tell reflect the time at which the Tapestry was made. \nYou can find the Bristol Tapestry on the ground floor of the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery\, to the right of the main hall (follow the signs to the lift). \n\n\n\nEvent Details
