About The Author
Archie Brennan
One of the world’s most influential weavers, Archie Brennan (1931–2019) is renowned for bringing the “pop” genre into the art of tapestry. He developed and directed the tapestry department at Edinburgh College of Art and directed the Dovecot Tapestry Studio.
Brenda Osborn began weaving four and a half decades ago. She has studied with Soyoo Park and was in the Wednesday Group of tapestry weavers, who met regularly at the studio of Archie Brennan and Susan Martin Maffei. It was during her tenure in the Wednesday Group that a few members suggested that Archie write a memoir. Brenda offered to help, and now you hold that book in your hands.
