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
• workshops or classes
• member exhibitions
• displays

Have your say...

If you have ideas or suggestions for WAFTA activities why not drop us an email (via the link on the left hand side bar) ... or better still, if your suggestion involves an event or activity, why not join the WAFTA Committee to help deliver your particular idea?  All volunteers are busy people but have found that getting involved is a most interesting way to meet and participate in the local fibre scene. 

Items for the webpage are also most welcome ... if you know of an event, please share it with us.   Don't worry if it is an event that has passed by, or old news, please 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 ...
