FIBRES WEST 2011

Very warm thanks to all those who attended Fibres West 2011 in October. With over a hundred participants, and nine top-class national and international textile tutors teaching in a wide range of areas, we once again had a very successful event.

FIBRES WEST 2014

FIBRES WEST 2011 offers a fully residential program over five days, providing participants with opportunities for learning and the exchange of ideas with other textile craftspeople. Included is tuition in one of ten workshops, slide presentations, evening activities, a trade hall, bazaar and exhibitions. 

WORKSHOPS run for five days, Monday to Friday, with a free half day on Wednesday afternoon when optional activities will be offered. Generally, workshops are limited to 12 participants. Most workshops have a materials fee, payable to the tutor on the first day. Students will be advised of workshop requirements on enrolment. Workshops are filled on a first-come first-served basis. If your preferred workshop is full or cancelled, you will be offered a place in your second preference workshop, another workshop or a full refund. The organisers reserve the right to withdraw a workshop if the minimum enrolment of eight is not reached by July 29 2011.

BUNBURY CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL  is set in bushland at Gelorup on the southern outskirts of Bunbury in the south west of Western Australia . This modern co-educational boarding school is an ideal venue for Fibres West, with new spacious dining hall and classroom facilities, and upgraded accommodation which includes disabled facilities.

TRAVEL TO BUNBURY from Perth is by car or daily coach or rail services. The travelling distance by car is about 190km, approximately two hours' drive. Coach services depart from the East Perth Bus terminal and rail services depart from Perth City railway station.
