Final Member Meeting - February 8
Weaving as an Art Form by Kennita Tully
​
The contemporary tapestry artist employs the same elements and principles of design as those in other mediums. Being aware of these elements (shape, line, value, color, texture, space, and form) along with the principles (balance, unity, variety/repetition, perspective, proportion, harmony, emphasis, and rhythm/movement.) can make our work, and so our message, stronger. Depending on the medium, different techniques are employed to strengthen any of these components. As tapestry artists, we have our own unique set of methods for this. Kennita walks us through some possibilities of employing these techniques in tapestry weaving through a visual tour of art.
​
Kennita is a tapestry artist, author, and teacher living in Pottawatomie County, KS. She returned to tapestry in late 2017 after a break from tapestry to pursue a 30 year career as a knitwear designer. Intrigued by the interconnections of life, she attempts to discover the world around her and return those discoveries to the world through tapestries. She writes on tapestry on her website, kennitatully.com, and continues to teach online classes.
