The ATW has built a world-wide reputation for being a leading producer of hand-woven tapestry. Using the same techniques employed in Europe since the 15th century, the ATW's skilled weavers work with artists from Australia and overseas to produce tapestries that are known for their vibrancy, technical accomplishment and inventive interpretation. The ATW has produced more than 500 contemporary hand-woven tapestries using the finest Australian wool, sourced from suppliers who use best practice in agricultural sustainability. The yarn is dyed onsite by a specialist dyer who creates a base palette of 368 colours. Today the ATW thrives on working with contemporary artists who seek to challenge the ATW’s weavers and dyer, by providing tapestry designs in various mediums including photography, painting and digital images.
