I think you will love the exhibition. The woodcuts are exquisite.
It was actually a really easy journey as our local trains go to London Bridge and it was just one quick change to North Dulwich. I may go back for a second visit.
I have had to postpone it twice, because of my mum being ill, but I am determined to get there! I have to get there from Liverpool Street, which is a bit of a palaver, but I know it will be worth it.
I wish it were easier to just jump on a train from here, but you have to book so far in advance, which makes it difficult. I was bought the book for Christmas, ahead of my visit, and it is so beautiful.
Thanks for a really interesting review...I had seen this was on, and you've definitely tipped me towards making sure I get there... what a lot of variation of expression she had in such a short life; I was at Noah Davis at Barbican last week, who also died very young, and was amazed at all that he had produced too. The needlework paintings are very attractive and different! I loved your chance encounter too ... look forward to your next article.
What wonderful writing about what seems to be a fascinating exhibition!
I had not hear of Tirzah before, but will investigate her and her works further methinks. Thanks for introducing her. 😊
I also use lots of different media and techniques, but pleased to see you don’t see it as a problem, and I don’t either! At the moment I have been learning lots of different printing techniques, lots to do, but it is a foundation course after all! I’m studying it part time, so I’m enjoying it and able to do a bit more work than I need to (probably!). 😊
Thank you Morag. I did an online foundation course years ago with the Open College of the Arts and it was brilliant for trying lots of new techniques. It was probably what introduced me to working with textiles. Just have fun!
I did levels 2 & 3 C&G Textiles - Machine Embroidery ten years ago which was wonderful and frustrating at times. You learn about a new technique, but have no time to explore it further!!
It’s similar now in the NC Art & Design Foundation Course, but I’m not finding it frustrating this time, which is interesting in itself!
There so many female artists who have sat in the shadow of their husbands. It has historically not only been difficult for women to make art but if they did they rarely got the recognition they deserved
It is not the easiest place to find! I am very much hoping to visit before it closes, as I love her work. A lovely piece to read, thank you.

I have had a similar experience with my mum so I ended up going very last minute when I had a spare day. I almost didn’t go but so pleased I did

Super article. I love the detail of Tirzah's life that you have included.
Thank you Jackie. I thought she led a fascinating life for one who died so young
Super article!
Thank you Mary!

Thank you! I’m sure you will enjoy the exhibition. And thank you for the introduction to Noah Davis.

I’m glad I waited to read this essay until afte4 lunch. A lovely slow read. Thank you.
Pleased you enjoyed it Cheryl
Thank you Gina. I had not heard of Tirzah Garwood. What a creative woman ... and all the more so considering the social constraints of the time.
There so many female artists who have sat in the shadow of their husbands. It has historically not only been difficult for women to make art but if they did they rarely got the recognition they deserved
A really lovely post, Gina.
Thank you June x
So interesting to read about this artist and how she managed to make her art in spite of the limits placed on women at the time.
Thank you Jane. Sadly it’s a common story for so many women artists
Thank you so much for this informative and very interesting post!
My pleasure!
Looking forward to visiting next weekend.
I think you will enjoy it Marian!
