Architecture: Tapestry is ideally suited to large spaces and compliments the surfaces and materials of modern architecture by creating an atmosphere of warmth and colour.

Sound: Tapestry has the capacity to absorb reverberation of hard-surfaced architecture and ambient noise better than any other artistic medium.

Colour and texture: The richness of woven colour is derived from the mixing of multiple strands of vibrant yarns. This gives tapestry an unparalleled depth and dynamism. This technique is one of the hallmarks of the Australian Tapestry Workshop.

Size: Because the Workshop can create tapestry of virtually any dimension, problems with complementing architectural spaces are limited only by the imagination and can always be harmoniously resolved. Tapestries hang successfully on both curved and flat walls.

Transportation: Tapestries are easy to transport and even large works can be rolled up and moved with less effort than framed paintings or other large art works.

Hanging: Tapestries are easy to hang. Usually designed for a specific location, they can also be hung in any suitable environment. Finished tapestries are attached with heavy-duty Velcro tape to an aluminium batten which can be bolted to a wall or can hang freely.

Weight: As a general rule, tapestries weigh approximately three kilograms per square metre (3'2" per square foot).

Lighting: Lighting should be angled at least 45 degrees from the face of the tapestry to ensure optimum colour resonance.

Care and Maintenance: Dust can generally be removed from tapestry by light vacuuming using the special fabric nozzle or by lightly brushing the surface with a small clean brush.
