WAFTA

supporting and advocating Western Australian fibre and textile practice

Membership

Whilst there is an enormous global textile community, involvement at a local level allows you to meet fellow practitioners, access local workshops and perhaps even influence the development of textile practice in WA.

Membership of WAFTA is open to all who are interested in textile art practice.  The current membership includes practicing artists and teachers plus many who are building skills and exploring this field.  They all have in common a love of textiles and a need to create.

WAFTA helps you link to exhibitions, workshops, newsletters, trade days, artist studio and gallery visits as well as networking with like minded people.

The membership year runs February to February.
