About the Facilitator
Eta Ingham Lawrie is a remarkable artist who over more than six decades has brought light, warmth and colour into people’s lives – whether by working on a small scale producing a range of textile pieces for individuals, or by creating magnificent large scale hangings for public buildings and private collectors. Her work is said to be “both intensely bold and extraordinarily subtle”.
The inspiration for Eta’s woven wall-hangings comes from the ever-changing light over land and sea, and on which she bases her creations, using hand dyed fleece and wool, and many other natural materials. She also incorporates natural found objects such as stone, shell, and wood into her weavings.
