Swifter Than a Weaver's Shuttle – Autobiography by Trevor Whetstone | British Artist Memoir

'Swifter Than a Weaver's Shuttle' is Trevor Whetstone's modest, clear-eyed autobiography. The cover photograph — two boys on a cobbled Armley street — frames a life that moves from childhood in Leeds through thirteen jobs: farming, grave-digging, five years as a tank driver in Germany, then a career as an artist, gallery owner, and piano tuner. A practical, personable memoir about work, memory, and making a living.

A quietly compelling read — warmly recommended for anyone who loves art, Yorkshire, or an honest account of an uncommonly varied life.
