British tapestry artist Bobbie Cox is celebrated for her evocative woven works and her significant contributions to the tapestry community.
Initially trained as a painter at the Bath Academy of Art, she transitioned to tapestry weaving in 1975, dedicating herself fully to the craft. Her large-scale commissions include notable works for Dartington Hall, St Stephen's Church in Exeter, and Rochester Cathedral.
Cox was the first guest artist featured in the BBC2 series The Craft of the Weaver and played a pivotal role in the British Tapestry Group, where she was remembered as a generous and patient teacher. Her tapestry series, such as Landscape into Tapestry and Indian Journey, toured extensively, showcasing her deep engagement with cultural narratives and natural forms.
