UNB Tapestries

These wool tapestries were woven by fibre artist and UNB alumnus, Ivan H. Crowell (Class of '29) in the early 1980s. Each tapestry represents approximately 26 eight-hour days at the loom plus another seven days of handsewing and finishing. Dr. Crowell created the patterns for all the woven images represented here, and many more. Susan Turnbull also worked her embroidery needle on 5 of the eight tapestries (heraldic and department/alumni tapestries). 

To explore more of Dr. Crowell's tapestries, follow the nagivation at the top of this page. A complete inventory of all Dr. Crowell's UNB Tapestries is available at UNB Archives and Special Collections.
