Our New LookWelcome to the new look ATASDA website. This project has been in the planning stages for some time and we are thrilled that it is now a reality. This is the first stage in a three phase upgrade to make our website a virtual ATASDA community. Phase Two will see the launch of our member log-in system which will enable you to update your textile interests, contact details and search for members with similar interests as yourself. Add us to your Favourites list and watch for further developments.

The Maharajah's Garden - Travelling Suitcase Exhibition 2010
Travelling throughout Australia from March 2010 until March 2012
The Maharajah's Garden is ATASDA's 2010 Travelling Suitcase Exhibition and our members have prepared exquisite artworks to travel all over Australia to visit and delight students, all sorts of craft groups, and ATASDA individuals who are working alone. The Maharajah's Garden is designed to show how textiles can be art, and art can be textiles - enthusing others to go home and try a new technique using textiles and fibres. The travelling exhibition is packed into a suitcase and posted to the next venue, with registration. |
