Welcome to WAFTA

WAFTA was established in 1996 with the primary function of supporting and advocating Western Australian fibre and textile practice.

Our objectives:

• to promote understanding and appreciation of fibre and textiles
• to encourage and provide a means of free exchange of ideas and information
• to encourage the highest standards of design, craftsmanship and critical evaluation
• to facilitate and encourage the transition from student to practitioner

Our activities:

• monthly group meetings in Perth (February to November)
• speakers and activities
• studio visits
• workshops or classes
• member exhibitions
• displays

Have your say...

If you have ideas or suggestions for WAFTA events or activities why not drop us an email or visit us on facebook and write on our wall...  

Items for the webpage are also most welcome ... if you know of an event, or some textile news, please share it with us.  Don't worry if it is an event that has passed, or the news is old, let us know! With your help we aim to be a leading resource for Fibre and Textile information in Western Australia.  

Or just send an email to say hello... or show us your work by sending us an image or two...
