Peter Collingwood 1922 – 2008

Collingwood was one of the most influential and celebrated British weavers of the late 20th Century, who also built up a strong international reputation. He was best known for creating over 300 of his sculptural Macrogauzes, which he weaved on his one-of-a-kind loom, created in 1962. This loom freed the warp, which is the first layer of thread to be stretched across the loom, to sit in any direction, rather than exclusively parallel to the weft, which is the second layer of thread to be woven. The Art Station is delighted to exhibit Collingwood’s Macrogauze 306, 2005, with special thanks to its generous owners who have loaned it to us More information about Peter here.
