At the fair, you will be privy to inspirational displays from modern to traditional from both local and interstate artists. Hands-on classes and demonstrations are a chance to learn from the craft experts. Independent retailers will have stocks of hard to find craft supplies, kits and equipment, so if you're IntoCraft , you're in for a great day out.

She draws in thread using a sewing machine amongst other skill sets. Her work has been exhibited all over the world with large-scale pieces hung in hotels and museums in the UK and the USA. Her book Stitch Draw illustrates and demonstrates her techniques.
