The Tapestry Trust of New Zealand is in the process of creating a large series of panels depicting the history of Aotearoa New Zealand.
We are supported by the Association of Embroiderers’ Guilds (ANZEG), many of whom are giving their time to this long-term project. This is a project about, by and for the people of NZ.
