We are very keen to expand our membership given the rich and varied talent available in South Africa.
You are eligible for membership if you are South African or you have lived in South Africa for a minimum of 3 years.
You will need to supply the following:
- Some written information about yourself and your work. This could take the form of a CV or it could be more imaginative and personal.
- Portfolio - Slides/CDs/DVDs/photographs of at least TEN of your works. The images should include the whole work as well as some close ups/details. Please title and date each work. Please indicate the orientation of your work so it can be correctly viewed.
- At least TWO actual physical works. These works should be typical of the work illustrated in your portfolio.
NB Please note that these 10 pieces can be taken from any period in your career, and may also include experimental pieces from your portfolio.
The physical work plus photographic/written material must be suitably packed and sent to Odette Tolksdorf.

Current Fibreworks members assess prospective work once a year in October and cast their vote. All the votes are of equal value, thus ensuring that the selection process is fair and democratic. After the meeting Fibreworks will contact you. Should you become a member the annual cost is R150. This contributes towards the costs of the national exhibitions and the quarterly newsletters.
Please make sure that you have suitable arrangements in place for Fibreworks to return your work safely. You are responsible for the insurance of your work and all costs incurred for its delivery and return.
