Introduction
The Australian Tapestry Workshop, which was formerly known as the Victorian Tapestry Workshop, was founded in 1976.The ATW specialises in combining the ancient Art form of weaving using time honored and traditional methods that have been used since the middle ages, interpreting the artworks of leading Australian and International artists in a tapestry format.
The tapestries are an all-Australian product having being weaved using the finest Australian wool, which is spun specifically to the Workshop's specifications. The range of color is vast, comprising a palette of over 370 colors. To appreciate the scope of the color palette I have listed below some of the range. Note: The electronic device you are using may slightly alter the hue. Color swatches can be obtained from "The Australian Tapestry Workshop".
Images of the color swatches were sourced from Marie-Therese's deceased mother, Milla Wisniowski. Being an avid and experimental knitter, she bought the boxed package as a gift for Marie-Therese Wisniowski in the late 1970s. It contained all of the color yarn swatches which were available then from the Victorian Tapestry Workshop (now known as the Australian Tapestry Workshop). This heritage boxed collection of color yarn swatches was gifted by Marie-Therese Wisniowski to the Australian Museum of Clothing and Textiles Inc. Maitland, NSW, as a part of their collection.
