Since 2007, QLD Branch has provided an enthusiastic, friendly environment for all like-minded textile artists.

The Branch offers a mixture of formal, informal, educational and display activities. The program of workshops, social days and quarterly meetings provides a sharing and learning experience for members with many diverse skills.

At all meetings ATASDA members can:

  • view or take part in the Show and Tell display of work, including samples from recent workshops.
  • take part in a creative activity at each meeting with a small charge
  • learn about upcoming workshops
  • find out about what's going on and engage with decision-making in the Branch
  • participate in exhibitions, displays and challenges held regularly
  • browse and borrow from the library.

Quarterly Branch Meetings and Social Meetings are open to all members and their guests, so come and visit soon.

Brisbane Meetings are held upstairs at the BVAC Hub, 140 Weller Rd, Tarragindi, Qld
Texture Arts meetings are held at the Redland Yurara Art Society Studio, 262 Cleveland Redland Bay Rd, Thornlands, Qld

New members very welcome.

Textile Taster: Crochet with Sue Gray
Sue will be presenting how to crochet twirls/corkscrews (and their variations) and a simple star that can have many applications and will lead into an introduction to incorporating beads into crochet work. The projects are small and achievable and people will be able to complete at least one item in the time. Sue will supply a variety of yarns and beads (no charge - they are just from her stash left over from earlier projects). She will also bring along a collection of different sized crochet needles for members to use (please return them at the end of the session) or bring your own if you prefer using a certain type.
