Good news for all you craft lovers out there 0 the Craft and Quilt Fair is coming to Melbourne this July!

From the 28th to the 31st July, the Melbourne Exhibition Centre in South Wharf will be home to an abundance of exhibitions, displays, hands-on activities, guest artists, demonstrations, workshops and plenty more to help inspire your future crafts!



Fabric designer and painter Saffron Craig will be making an appearance at the fair to host a screen printing and fabric design workshop, as well as a hand-painting fabric workshop. Both workshops require a fee payment and a booking to be made, which you can do so here .



Over 100 workshop sessions will be conducted each day, as well as talks, demonstrations, and a hands-on "make and take", which enables guests to learn skills straight from the experts, and to inspire their own crafts.

Skills such as sewing, embroidering, panting, jewellery, making a phone case and many, many more can be learnt right at the fair - not to mention an endless array of art materials that will be available for you to browse through for your next craft project.



will also be showcasing the work of finalists from art challenges. Thirty-five finalists from the distinguished Australasian Quilt Convention Challenge, who were asked to design a quilt around the theme "Tradition with a Twist", will have their work on display, as well as finalists from the Paws & Whiskers Challenge, who made portraits of their pets with textile art.



If one thing is for sure, it's that you won't leave this fair empty-handed or empty-headed. With the wide range of materials available to purchase, and other craft enthusiasts ready and willing to help inspire you, you will certainly go home a happy and excited person who is ready to ace their next project.
