The Bayeux Tapestry
Mia Hansson gave a talk about her project over the last ten years of embroidering a copy of the Bayeux Tapestry. She brought along two of her four nine metre rolls of work she has completed, which were displayed around the hall.
She started the project in 2016 and is ahead of her estimated time for this task.
She told of some of the difficulties she has encountered along the way with getting materials that will match with the original tapestry, and of TV programmes that wished to come to her home to see the project in progress, but not having sufficient space at home to show this and the tapestry she approached her local library who were happy to provide the required space. The TV company has returned to film the progress and is hoping to be able to view the finished item in the next year or so.
