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.

Our tour of this attraction was an off train excursion whilst doing The Ghan train trip from Darwin to Adelaide. We were taken by coach a short distance from the train but still within the townsite of Alice Springs. We were greeted by a very bubbly woman who showed us in to a classroom-like room for an informative video on the formation and workings of the school, formed in 1951, which is the largest classroom in the world. To think that the students are in remote areas and spread over an area in excess of 500,000 square miles is mind boggling. After the video you move in to an adjoining room to witness an actual lesson involving a teacher and student. There is so much to see and absorb in such a short time that you need to go for yourself and learn about this modern day wonder. As you leave there is the customary gift shop with a very good array of souvenirs to purchase with all the funds going to the administration and running of the school. It truly is an amazing place to visit.
