The Australian Tapestry Workshop is working on a private commission to weave JANET LAURENCE's work 'Plant Song'. The original design by Laurence is a composite digital image created with her extensive archive of images of plants. The ATW weavers have selected a wide palette of lush greens to create this tapestry, including a high ratio of cotton yarns which are used to create areas of luminosity in the tapestry.
Janet stopped by the workshop to check on the progress and was very taken with the work! You too can see this tapestry being woven during opening hours of the workshop: 10am - 5pm Tuesday to Friday.
