Australia’s favourite craft event, the Craft & Quilt Fair is returning in 2009 to the Brisbane Exhibition Centre, October 21 – 25. In addition to great displays, fantastic shopping opportunities and non-stop classes and workshops; the Fair will bring with it a special guest artist as well as new attractions and features.
For the first time Fiskars have partnered with the Craft & Quilt Fairs, to present Fiskars’ Craft Studio – a hands-on learning area where visitors will be able to see Fiskars’ great range of quality craft products before trying them out under the watchful eye of an expert. Scrapbook enthusiasts won’t want to miss this opportunity to play with crafty punches, stunning embellishments, different adhesives and trimmers before purchasing exactly what they’re after from nearby exhibitors.
Plus you’ll be able to see some of Queensland’s best quilts in the annual Queensland Quilt Show exhibition and an inspirational collection of the Best of Australia Quilts.
Aspiring and experienced designers will love EXOTICA. Presented by ATASDA (Australian Textile Arts & Surface Design Association Inc), the original and unique handmade textile artworks of EXOTICA will amaze you.
The Brisbane Craft & Quilt Fair is also an opportunity to meet special guest artist, renowned felt artist and teacher, Wendy Bailye. A display of her work, ranging from wearable art and decorator items to large framed felt artworks, will be at the fair for visitors to enjoy.
For the cost of admission, visitors will have access not only to the Craft & Quilt Fair, but to the Brisbane Bead Fair – a boutique show, dedicated to all things beading. Buy the latest beads and tools, be inspired by special displays and learn the latest techniques in Make & Take Classes.
