Tapestries lend warmth, colour and texture to any environment, especially buildings made in modern materials like marble, chrome, glass or concrete. Add to that the fact that they can be made on an impressive scale, and you'll see why many companies and individuals choose them for prominent locations.

At Ivory Tapestries, I make a wide variety of handmade, one-off textile and paper works of art, often to commission. They can be designed by me, Joanne Soroka, or by the artist of your choice. They can be tiny or huge, eight inches by eight inches (twenty cm by twenty cm) to eight feet by fifteen feet (2.5 m x 4.5 m). They can be tapestries, paperworks or other types of textile. The choice is yours.

Small paperworks start at £150 and tapestries at £1000. I am happy to give you a quotation for a particular project you may have in mind. I also have stock tapestries, paperworks and other textiles available (see Work Available list). My free brochure can also be sent on request.

Ivory Tapestries is a twenty-year-old company, and I have been making tapestries for over thirty years. I'm a graduate of McGill University, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and Edinburgh College of Art. I've won many prizes and grants, I'm a professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists and am listed in the prestigious Crafts Council Index of Selected Makers. My work has been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions around the world. It is in a wide variety of public and private collections in the UK, the USA, Canada, Estonia and Japan. Some of my work is highly personal, and I have written about its meanings to me.

Please get in touch if you are considering commissioning or buying a textile work of art, or if you would like to exhibit my work. I am flexible and open to suggestions. You might even want to visit me in Edinburgh. I look forward to hearing from you.
