Founder & CEO, Fibre Arts Australia
For more than 30 years, Glenys Mann has led Fibre Arts Australia with an unwavering commitment to depth, connection, and the power of creative transformation. As founder, curator, and mentor, Glenys continues to shape a thriving international community of textile and fibre artists who are not only mastering their craft, but discovering who they are through it. Glenys is bringing renewed energy to her life’s work: mentoring the mentors, guiding artists toward their next threshold, and ensuring that every Fibre Arts gathering, especially at the new formatted STUDIO WORKSHOPS, is infused with meaning, earth-honouring intention, and creative fire. Her work goes far beyond organising workshops. Glenys is a fierce advocate for artistic depth over surface polish. She creates spaces where slow making, ancestral knowledge, and personal truth take precedence over trends and perfection. Whether through one-to-one guidance or large-scale events, her mission remains clear: to support artists in stepping into their fullest, most courageous selves. This is not just a career, it is a life fully lived through textiles. |
