Naarm Textile Collective is an artist led organisation aiming to incorporate and challenge the boundaries of textile arts practice. Together, promoting and supporting artists using textiles in their artworks and encouraging the exploration of unique pathways to creation and individuality through their work. The collective believe that by communicating and sharing their passion for textiles, they will highlight the versatility of the medium and promote interest in art created using a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques.
