Join artist Becky Dodman Wainwright as she unpacks the thinking and processes behind her new solo exhibition, The Weavers Cup - Tea to Chumbe. This is a free event so no need to book, just turn up. After a talk in the gallery, Becky will be available for questions and discussions until 1pm.

The Weavers Cup - Tea to Chumbe exhibition explores folk and personal heritage through an expanded lens, weaving together Becky’s life in Devon, and her ancestral roots in the Andes. Her large-scale tapestries, created from local wool, are inspired by ‘tasseography’, the interpretation of patterns discovered in tea leaf readings which transform everyday forms into significant designs and motifs. This practice grounds her work in Devon while connecting to her Colombian Indigenous ancestry, particularly the sacred symbols of Chumbe belts, traditional sashes worn by Andean shamans.
