Peter Collingwood (1922-2008) was at the forefront of weaving for fifty years. His wall hangings use the traditional craft to create visual abstraction and are admired worldwide. Trained, after national service, by the master weaver Ethel Mairet, he worked with Alastair Morton, who became the visionary Artistic Director at the Edinburgh Weavers. In 1952, Peter set up a studio at Archway in North London and sold his work in Liberty's and Heal's. He also exhibited at the Red Rose Guild and the Arts and Crafts Society. He later moved to Digswell Arts Trust in Hertfordshire, where he met and exhibited with Hans Coper. Collingwood moved to Nayland near Colchester in 1964, where he worked until his death in 2008.
