Dallas Area Fiber Artists

Fiber Art Organization
in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

Welcome to Dallas Area Fiber Artists (DAFA), a dynamic and progressive organization that promotes fiber art through education, workshops and exhibitions.


Our members range from established artists to new enthusiasts, many of whom employ fiber processes that combine traditional, contemporary and experimental techniques.

DAFA's monthly programs include lectures and demonstrations on subjects such as thread and fabric painting, surface design, papermaking, mixed-media collage, garment design, fiber jewelry, altered books and many other fiber techniques.


We welcome all fiber artists, including art quilters, dyers, weavers, beaders, printers, felters, papermakers, doll makers, embroiderers, and mixed-media innovators.
