Tapestry Art

Tapestry art is a craft involving weaving colored threads or yarns into fabric to create detailed images or patterns. Traditionally, tapestries are large, decorative textiles used to illustrate stories, depict historical events, or display intricate designs. Skilled artisans use a loom to interlace warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) fibers, allowing for rich textures and vivid imagery. Tapestry art combines artistry with craftsmanship, and its history dates back centuries, serving both functional and decorative purposes in homes, castles, and museums. Its enduring appeal lies in the complexity and beauty of the woven picture it presents.
