Heather Seddon a retrospective

Keswick Museum

A display of textile art by Heather Seddon (1945 – 2024), by the Eden Valley Guild of Spinners, Weavers, and Dyers. Heather’s work combines the creative flair of an artist with the observational skills of a natural scientist.

The Eden Valley Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers are celebrating the life of their Chair Heather Seddon who sadly died in 2024 and left a house full of her wonderful textile art. Heather’s amazing weaving, braiding and tapestry weaving makes a wonderfully inspiring and colourful exhibition which we are delighted to showcase in Keswick, before it is returned to her family in Kent.
