Weavers:

ATW weaver and artist Marie Cook designed Pink Heath specifically for the Sofitel Hotel in 1979.

The choice to weave the tapestry on it's side limited the number of weavers that could work on the piece. Five weavers took nearly one year to complete the tapestry and it was the Workshop's most time-consuming project to date.

Pink Heath was created alongside Cook's Wattle. The Cutting Off Ceremony for Pink Heath in 1980 was a europhic occasion, with all the weavers dressed in pink to match the tapestry.
