Australian Craft Council

Craft Australia

Craft Australia is the top advocacy organisation for Australia's contemporary craft and design.

Its vision is as an essential contributor to Australia's national and international cultural and creative industries.

Craft Australia lobbies for those industries and brings them international attention.

Its strategic goals are based on three key areas of activity - advocacy, communication and research, and its position as an advocate and lobbyist for Australian contemporary craft and design brings the economic and cultural contribution of this industry to world-wide attention.

Craft Australia promotes the outstanding achievements of the artists in those industries by delivering programs and activities through its website.

It supports those creative industries as a viable economic force and supports the influence of new technologies, hybrid practice and links with industry as a growth area.

    Its not just about fashion. I live a life surrounded by textile - in particular wool. Its in my room, in my car, on my desk at work... Designing handknits and selling them is not my sole source of survival but it is what I love. I'm lucky that this love is supported by other things that I love, including working for The Big Idea and also helping to facilitate the careers of emerging artists. I feel truly blessed.
