Exhibitions

Currently displaying a selection of work at a Fowler Show Home in Blenheim.

Peg Mooorhouse has just had a very successful exhibition at the prestigious COCA Gallery in Christchurch Jan/early Feb 2010.

Original hand-woven hangings and tableware

New Zealand weaver Peg Moorhouse's stunning original handwoven hangings and tableware look great in contemporary interiors.

These eminently collectable large award winning wall hangings are suitable for both domestic and commercial interiors. Exquisitely coloured hand weavings are artworks inspired by the modern textured yarns Peg sources worldwide and by the colours of the Marlborough Sounds. Excellent as christening and wedding presents and retirement gifts. Weaving commissions are welcome.

Specializing in damask weaving

From her studio in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, renowned weaver Peg Moorhouse creates award winning damask table runners, napkins and wall hangings. Trained in damask weaving at the famous Saterglantan College of Handicrafts in Sweden, Peg has gone far beyond traditional damask techniques to create original and unique designs on the Oxaback 41 shaft draw system damask loom she imported to New Zealand from Sweden in 1992.

"Many looms are computerised today, but Peg still draws up her designs on graph paper and lines them up with threads to make her pieces"

Unique collectables

Each collectable piece by award-winning professional fibre artist Peg Moorhouse is unique and represents days of precise and skilled handweaving. Twice highly commended and a ten time exhibitor at the prestigious World of Wearable Arts award, Peg's weaving is represented in private collections throughout New Zealand and Australia, US and Europe.

Exhibited

In September 2009 Peg Moorhouse (now 92) exhibited in the Queenstown Community Art Society’s Silk Road exhibition at the Cloakroom Gallery at their invitation and won the top award.

Exhibited two works in the Professional Weavers’ Network 2009 Exhibition shown in various centres in New Zealand.
