Billy Tea tea towel
Billy Tea design by Beverley McMillan, Janelle McMillan and Stella McMillan of Ewyenper Atwatye (Hidden Valley Town Camp).
This drawing depicts a billycan, which is commonly used to make hot cups of tea on the fire at Town Camps, as well as on bush trips to Country.
Ewyenper Atwatye is the Central Arrernte place name for Hidden Valley, and the chosen name for the textile enterprise established by the community of Hidden Valley Town Camp in 2015. It is a satellite project of Tangentyere Artists. Each year, Tangentyere Artists run workshops in collaboration with the community, and out of these workshops new designs are released at Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair in August and Desert Mob in Alice Springs every September.
All Ewyenper Atwatye Artists’ products are ethically produced on high quality, natural fabrics. These teatowels are 100% linen and available in flax, oatmeal and off-white. Sales directly support Ewyenper Atwatye, with the profit returning to artist fees and investment in future projects.
Town Camp Designs is a collection of products created by Ewyenper Atwatye, Tangentyere Artists and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists. We are a 100% Aboriginal owned and run art centre based in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) Northern Territory, Australia.
