Within each ATASDA branch, provision is made for smaller member groups to be established.

These groups may be formed on a geographical basis, a group of friends who are members or members sharing a mutual interest in a particular area of textile arts, or with no particular common interest just a passion and love of things 'textile'.

A minimum of 5 members is required to establish a Group.

In Queensland, we're always looking for textile artists in other parts of the state who would like to co-ordinate regular meetings in their area. For more information about setting up a group, email the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
