Memberships
Austin Fiber Artists is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to nurturing creative discovery, learning and sharing through arts education and artistic development. We offer a variety of memberships, as well as scholarships. Get in involved with our artistic group.
Meetings
Monthly meetings are always held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. Each Meeting starts with the Recharge Zone (a short introduction to a fiber topic or technique), show and tell, a brief business meeting followed by a presentation on on a variety of interesting topics related to fiber art. It’s also a great opportunity to mingle with other fiber artists!
Gallery

My husband and I were fortunate to have the time and find the motivation to get out and spend time at the gallery. The fiber art displays were among the best works exhibited. We will definitely keep an eye on your calendar and make as many shows as we can.
