Intertwined: Stories on the Wall - Tuesdays 11am-3pm and Thursdays 10am-2pm through week of 1 April. The public is invited to view this collaboration between Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) and the ATW bringing together two groups of women artists from refugee communities: artists from the Karen people of Burma who work primarily in paper collage and textile artists from Afghanistan. This program is supported by the City of Port Phillip.

The staff, board and supporters of the Australian Tapestry Workshop are deeply saddened by the passing of its longtime patron Dame Elisabeth Murdoch AC DBE, the driving force behind the Workshop’s establishment and a tireless and enthusiastic promoter of its work.

The Australian Tapestry Workshop was delighted to be one of the few venues in Victoria included in the itinerary of HRH The Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness visited Australia as a personal representative of Her Majesty The Queen during the Diamond Jubilee year, which marks The Queen’s 60 years as the monarch.

"Suddenly the art form associated with musty museums and depictions of royal festivities in the 14th century has become hip." The Saturday Age Life & Style section covers the Workshop, and our upcoming collaborative event PRINT WEAVE MAKE.

Applications are now open for ATW's artist in residence program, inviting artists to immerse themselves in the unique studio environment of the Workshop.
