Textile Fibre Forum, an iconic textile art magazine, has been in print since the 1980s. It has been under the ArtWear Publications banner since late 2011, with Moira Simpson now as Editor. It is published each March, June, September and December.

Textile Fibre Forum takes an in depth look at artists, exhibitions, and new techniques and innovations relating to textiles, fibres, plant matter (including paper), and manufactured materials, with articles from specialist contributors in each issue.

It showcases talent and individuality, while promoting ongoing education, galleries, events, best practices and resources. It is not a project-driven magazine.
