About Fibres West Inc.
Fibres West Inc is a not-for-profit association committed to nurturing inspiration, skill and creativity within the contemporary textile community.
Held every few years, our week-long Fibres West events are renowned for inviting outstanding Australian and international fibre art tutors who each deliver a 5-day, in-depth workshop. Participants also benefit from a complementary program which includes slide presentations, a trade hall, art bazaar, exhibitions, a textile garage sale, networking opportunities and more.
Since 1992, Fibres West has held ten highly successful events. For the first three of these events, classes were offered mainly in 1, 2, or 3-day format, with a 5-day class format introduced in 1999. The residential format was introduced in 1995. Since 2002 all classes at Fibres West events have been of 5-day duration.
From 1992 to 2010, Fibres West operated as a regional forum under the auspices of The Australian Forum for Textile Arts Ltd (TAFTA), a national, not-for-profit organisation. In 2010 Fibres West became an independent Incorporated Association. Fibres West 2025 will be the twelfth residential textile conference organised by Fibres West, known since 2010 as Fibres West Inc.
