Got a knack for knitting, jewellery-making, screen-printing, photography, or maybe typography, and often find yourself dreaming of how you could sell your homemade goodies some day? Look no further!
Learn how to turn your love for crafting into a career that will actually allow you to pay your bills, at the Craft and Design as a Career annual seminar.

From 9am-4pm, Thursday 7th August at Deakin Edge, Federation Square, inspiring artists and industry experts will spill the beans on how they became successful.
Craft and Design as a Career is the brainchild of Craft Victoria , whose philosophy of celebrating craft-making as an important part of society is supported through their mission to bring together a craft and design community in Victoria.

The seminar is open to all craft and design practitioners and students in need of an inspirational boost.
