Once the artist has produced the design a hi res image is printed which will serve as reference during the cartoon annotation and the weaving process. A second print is then done to the scale of the tapestry to serve as the cartoon template.
Charting the Colours
Over the years the studio has developed several hundred colour charts, with each colour assigned a number. These numbers are written onto the cartoon to indicate where it needs to be woven and in what shape.
Weaving
Teams of up to six weavers weave the intricate shapes translating and amplifying the artist’s original design into tapestries that hang in museums and private collections around the world. Depending on the size and intricacy of the work the weaving process can take between a month and six months.
