Craft Contemporary

Saturday 1 October to Monday 31 October 2022

Craft Contemporary is Craft Victoria’s annual festival of Australian craft presented throughout October. This year we present a diverse range of contemporary works from the collection by artists working in ceramic, glass, and metal, in dialogue with historical works to reflect the rich traditions, complex techniques, and enduring forms that echo through craft practices over centuries. Includes recent acquisitions by Stephen Benwell, Julie Blyfield and Kirsten Coelho, Stephen Bowers, John Dermer, and Tjunkaya Tapaya, among others.
