Connecting Threads with Dr Grace Pundyk
When I first heard about Dr. Grace Pundyk’s journey, I was immediately captivated. Her passion for uncovering the hidden stories behind Australian linen designs resonated deeply with me. This story truly underpins the purpose of the Australian Museum of Design as a vital resource for Australian design history.

Restoration Design with Christine Berry
Follow this incredible journey of a design from c1890’s to today – 130 years later, with Margaux Everett of Australian Museum of Design and Christine Berry who worked with Signature Hand Prints in the 1980’s. Christine was very much involved in the design studio, responsible for restoring original designs for architects, National Trust and others. Sometimes designs would be damaged, and Christine would reconstruct them by hand, and prepare them for hand printing for wallpapers.
