Tjanpi Desert Weavers

Tjanpi Desert Weavers is a social enterprise of the Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Women’s Council created to enable women in remote central deserts to earn their own income from contemporary fibre art. Tjanpi represents more than 400 Aboriginal female artists from 26 remote communities on the NPY lands, which cover approximately 350,000 square kms across the tri-state border region (WA, SA, NT) of Central Australia. Tjanpi Desert Weavers has a public gallery in Alice Springs where you can see and purchase your own unique piece of art and learn more about the women and culture of the NPY lands. Tjanpi also runs public weaving workshops and regularly exhibits work in national galleries, museums and public institutions.
