A Touch of Gold

Celebrating 50 years of Australian Textile Arts & Surface Design.

A ‘Touch of Gold’ explores the artist’s interpretations of the theme. Intriguing use of fibre and mixed media define this contemporary display of expressive textile wall hangings, 3D objects and wearable art which all reveal a physical ‘touch of gold’.

Working with diverse art practices, techniques and materials, sixty Australian Textile Arts & Surface Design members have created a rich tapestry of textile artworks employing fibre, weaving, felting, dyeing, printing, traditional and contemporary embroidery, and stitch techniques. Some historic pieces by renowned Australian textile art practitioners are included in this celebratory exhibition.
