Australian Tapestry Workshop

Established in 1976 and one of only a small number of similar organisations in the world, the Australian Tapestry Workshop boasts an international reputation for the production of contemporary, hand-woven tapestries. The Australian Tapestry Workshop's skilled weavers work in collaboration with artists from Australia and overseas to produce tapestries that are famous for their freshness and vigour, vibrancy of colour, technical accomplishment and inventive interpretation. Since its inception, the Workshop's philosophy has been to employ weavers trained as artists, to help enable the close collaboration essential with the artists who's work they are interpreting. The weavers use this collaborative information to create unique works of art, rather than woven reproductions of the design.
