Sydney Craft Week is about celebrating creativity and the handmade in all its forms. This festival creates the opportunity for the whole community to engage with craft, experience the benefits of making, and purchase local handmade work.
Sydney Craft Week is the only festival in Sydney dedicated to making by hand. An Australian Design Centre (ADC) initiative presented by UNSW Faculty of Art & Design, Sydney Craft Week brings together contemporary crafts organisations and individuals in a celebration of craft across the city as part of a ten-day festival each year in October. The festival fosters community participation and creativity, with the opportunity for the public to meet artists, buy and learn about craft and get involved in making.
The festival takes place over 10 days and invites all residents and visitors to experience Sydney’s vibrant craft scene. Many events are free to enter, with ticketed events managed by host organisations and venues.
