Sue Batten’s passion for tapestry began when she learnt to weave at the Australian Tapestry Workshop (ATW) during work experience in 1976. She commenced an apprenticeship at the ATW in 1977 and combined her weaving training with the study of drawing, sculpture and ceramics at Melbourne State College and textiles at RMIT. In 1999 she undertook further study in tapestry and drawing at Monash University.
Sue has led many major commissions including Diggers, designed by David Larwill for Ballarat University, Alice Bayke by Yvonne Todd for the Queensland Art Gallery, The games children play by Robert Ingpen for the Royal Children’s Hospital, and Eye desire by Sally Smart for the Royal Women’s Hospital, which was completed in 2011.
