We’re sorry for posting this one at the last minute, as it closes on Saturday, but this art exhibition looks inspiring. Online sources are filled with excellent pictures and information if you cannot instantly travel to London in Dr Who’s TARDIS.

The Alison Jacques Gallery presents ‘Lenore Tawney & Toshiko Takaezu: A Remarkable Friendship’, which is a two-person exhibition dedicated to the work and 50-year friendship of Lenore Tawney (1907-2007) and Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011).

According to Tawney’s website, her “career as an artist did not begin in earnest until the age of fifty.”

If you cannot make it to the show, textile artist Kim Winter has an excellent review post with many photographs of the installation in the gallery! https://kimwinter.co.uk/2025/01/09/lenore-tawney-toshiko-takaezu-a-remarkable-friendship

Kim is a former feltmaker, who now focuses on basketry. She has a long-running and informative blog that is worth following.
