Western Australian Fibre and Textiles Assoc.Inc.
The Western Australian Fibre and Textile Association Incorporated (WAFTA) was founded in 1995 and is a dynamic and progressive group with passion, enthusiasm and talent that reflects the growing interest and appreciation of fibre and textile art within the community.
WAFTA’s members include both established and emerging artists who between them employ a diverse range and combination of fibre and textile processes incorporating combinations of traditional, contemporary and experimental techniques. There is also an increasing crossover of textiles and other mediums, with glass, digital print, digital projection, ceramics, metal and the natural environment – to name but a few.
WAFTA’s objectives include increasing the understanding of the potential of fibre and textiles through exhibitions whilst encouraging the highest standard of design and craftsmanship.
