Craftnsw
is a group of artisans creating quality collectable handmade craft.
When you buy from us you are buying directly from the makers.
IN 2021 WE HAVE MOVED OUR PRODUCTS ON LINE
but you can also
SEE OUR CRAFT AT EXHIBITIONS
The “touch, feel and try on” exhibition by Craft
NSW at the Balmain Watch House has been cancelled due to COVID restrictions but we have been so enthusiastically producing our work that the show must go on.
We have country craft makers and guests eager to exhibit their work and meet the visitors and an Online exhibition should fulfil this to a degree.
Textiles are more dynamic than ever - woven, shibori dyed, knitted, crocheted, painted
and embroidered; woodwork to please the hand and eye, jewellery to amuse and
admire and all made by hand with a dedication to craft.
Opening October 8 2021
Closing October 31 2021
Claudia Chan Shaw, Ambassador for Craft NSW
We are fortunate to have such a multi-talented person to support us. Claudia Chan Shaw has many roles - fashion designer, television and radio presenter, curator, author, public speaker, collector, visual artist, cultural tour leader, business owner.
One talent stands out in her role as our Ambassador. Claudia, as an artist herself, listens and can engage with arts and crafts makers and understands the driving force art and craft gives to these exponents.
Welcome to our first online exhibition
Lockdown has prevented our physical exhibition but it hasn't stopped us altogether.
You are invited to the Value of Hands Online as part of Sydney Craft Week, coordinated by the Australian Design Centre. This festival aims to showcase our creativity and the power of making Craft.
We have wonderful guest exhibitors-
Hape Kiddle- wood work, Lynn Pavey- textile artist, Nicky Coady - ceramics and Cintia Yamane Lemann- ceramics.
The work of our guest artists and the work of Craft NSW members is featured below
with prices and links to further work.
Some members’ work is for exhibition only and not for sale.
Please enjoy browsing through our display of unique, hand-made pieces.
