Born in Denmark, KIRSTEN GLASBROOK trained as a tapestry weaver in Copenhagen.  She moved to London in 1964 where she worked on the restoration of ancient tapestries. In the1970s Kirsten taught part-time at Bath Academy of Art and for the past 30 years she has been fully employed in her own workshop weaving wall hangings and rugs to her own inimitable designs.  Working mainly with Nepalese hand-spun nettle yarn, she makes her own cold water dyes. All the colours seen in her tapestries come from her particular mixes of just yellow, blue and red.  Kirsten’s imagery relates strongly to our journey through life, (often symbolised by labyrinths) and to our place within nature and the cosmos, as frequently related in stories and myths.

She has won awards for her tapestries exhibited in the prestigious international travelling exhibitions ARTAPESTRY between 2008 – 2013.
