Nearly 40 years ago, the artist Victoria Crowe painted a shepherdess called Jenny Armstrong trudging through the snow on the wind-whipped Scottish Borders. That celebrated painting, Large Tree Group, has now been translated into a handwoven tapestry by master weavers at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh. Made from undyed sheep wool donated by some 70 producers - from small-scale crofters to large estates - the tapestry will form part of the National Museums Scotland's collection. That is, after its exhibition in London where this programme begins.
It's both the story of an unlikely friendship between a young artist and an elderly farmer and the tale of a precious tapestry, tracing it back from the gallery to the farm gate.
Featuring interviews recorded in London and Scotland with the curator, spinners, weavers, a farmer and the artist herself - Vicky Crowe.
Produced and presented by Anna Jones.
