What is LAFTA?
Founded in 1995, Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists (LAFTA) is an organization of visual artists whose work encompasses a variety of surface design and construction techniques, focusing on fibers, textiles and beads.
Our mission is to provide support to our members and to increase community awareness of fiber and textile art. Click HERE to see how our mission unfolded over this past year.

LAFTA NOVEMBER Meeting
The November 21st meeting will be a presentation by Michelle Amos from the Little Loomhouse about influential Kentucky female fiber artists, among them some LAFTA members. In addition to her presentation, Michelle hopes to have a dialogue with attendees about this topic. Michelle will have slides and the meeting will be held live and on Zoom, but Zoom attendees will not be able to see the artifacts that Michelle is bringing, so we encourage you to come in person!
