Australian Tapestry Workshop

The Australian Tapestry Workshop has built a global reputation for creating contemporary tapestries in collaboration with living artists and architects. The ATW has woven more than 500 tapestries for significant public and private collections nationally and internationally. The ATW is unique to Australia, and one of only a few workshops in the world dedicated to hand-weaving contemporary tapestries.

Contemporary artists and architects working in a broad scope of art forms, collaborate with the ATW’s weavers to experiment with interpretation, colour and technique to realise a design in tapestry form. ATW tapestries are known for their vibrancy, innovation and technical accomplishment.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
