Emma Powell 

Membership Secretary

Emma's connection to textile art began in childhood, sparked by a large fabric peacock artwork her mother rescued. At six years old, she was drawn to the small retro fabric pieces, their textures, and vibrant colour, an experience that left a lasting impression.

Years later she is now using similar techniques to create art. Hand-stitching, collaging and sculpting with fabric.

In 2015 Emma completed her Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts and Crafts, and continues to dabble in a variety of art forms, and enjoys being involved in a range of creative adventures.

Mary Day

Regional Representative, South West

Mary has engaged in a creative fibre arts practice for most of her life.  With an initial focus on sewing and knitting, Mary’s skills-based practice expanded significantly after attending Albany Summer school for the first time in the late-90s.  Under the tutelage of textile artist Elzabeth Morley, Mary was inspired to explore, experiment and learn anything and everything related to fibre.  Based in Busselton, Mary now belongs to an active fibre arts group, participates as a WAFTA member and serves on the WAFTA Committee as the Regional Member for WAFTA South West.
