First Victorian Meeting a Huge SuccessApproximately 44 textile enthusiasts attended the inaugural Victorian ATASDA meeting on Sunday 8th August in Melbourne. Many more sent in their apologies which indicates that the dedication of the members who organised the occasion has paid off. With all of this interest and energy, it shouldn't be too long before we have another meeting to announce. Watch this space!

This will allow us to access the members' login section to make the website an exciting communication base for members everywhere.

Travelling throughout Australia from March 2010 until March 2012
The Maharajah's Garden is ATASDA's 2010 Travelling Suitcase Exhibition and our members have prepared exquisite artworks to travel all over Australia to visit and delight students, all sorts of craft groups, and ATASDA individuals who are working alone. The Maharajah's Garden is designed to show how textiles can be art, and art can be textiles - enthusing others to go home and try a new technique using textiles and fibres. The travelling exhibition is packed into a suitcase and posted to the next venue, with registration. |
