Bobbie Cox 1930 - 2018

It is with sadness that the trustees announce the death of the Trust's patron Bobbie Cox. Bobbie was a friend of both Theo Moorman and Eileen Chadwick, a founding trustee of the Theo Moorman Trust and a trustee for many years. In 2016 she became Patron and remained interested and involved in the work of the Trust.

Bobbie is best known for her woven tapestries although she studied painting at the Bath Academy of Art and originally became a painter and teacher. In 1975 she gave up teaching to concentrate on tapestry weaving. She was the first guest artist on the BBC2 film series The Craft of the Weaver. 

Bobbie made many large scale commissions for private and public buildings including Dartington Hall, St Stephen's Church, Exeter and Rochester Cathedral. Three major exhbitions, each based on a particlur theme, Landscape into Tapestry (1984-85), Indian Journey (1988-91), and Indian Journey: Indigo Ikat Tapestries (2000-02) toured extensively.
