This year Australia's favourite craft event is dedicating itself to YOU -providing you with the freshest ideas from some truly remarkable artists in inspirational displays, hands-on fun in classes, expert know-how in workshops and demonstrations and the very best in craft retail therapy. Plus it's your only opportunity to see the always impressive annual Victorian Quilters' Quilt Showcase!

As the only event to be held in conjunction with the Victorian Quilters Inc annual Quilt Showcase, the Craft & Quilt Fair will display over two hundred quilts from members of the association. As a major fair feature every year, the exhibition attracts numerous visitors eager to admire the various techniques and styles of local novice and expert quilters.

Make sure you meet our special guest, internationally acclaimed Felt Artist Wendy Bailye. Embracing the ancient textile art of felt to great effect, Wendy has sold her pieces to art collectors in Germany, Japan and Hong Kong, and will display a collection of her wearable arts, decorator items and large felt artworks at the Fair.

For the cost of admission, visitors will have access not only to the Craft & Quilt Fair and the Quilt Showcase, but to the Bead Fair - a boutique show, dedicated to beads. Buy the latest beads and tools, be inspired by special displays and learn the latest techniques in Make & Take Classes.

Plus we're bringing all of Australia's best craft retailers to Melbourne! In town for five days only, you'll have the opportunity to stock up on the latest and most unique craft supplies and tools.

So escape the wintery blues and come to the Craft & Quilt Fair - we have a colourful mixture of craft, art and fashion fun sorted for you!
