Basketmakers
of Victoria is a non-profit organisation established in 1986, which
aims to promote, foster and encourage interest in the art and craft
of basketry.
While principally focused on natural fibre basketry we are eclectic
in interests, embracing traditional and contemporary practices and local,
international and ethnic/indigenous influences.
We maintain a permanent gallery and mount periodic exhibitions of work,
conduct and host workshops and demonstrate at selected craft events
and community festivals.
