The loss of Dovecot’s founding master weavers, John ‘Jack’ Glassbrook and Gordon Berry in 1917 during World War 1, might have seen the end of the Tapestry Studio before it had fully begun, but the young apprentices Ronald Cruickshank, Richard Gordon and David Lindsay Anderson returned to continue weaving at the Studio. [Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh]

Glassbrook and Berry came from William Morris’s Merton Abbey Workshops to set up the studio, which was then based in Corstorphine. [The Scotsman]
