WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Basketmakers of Victoria, a non-profit organisation established in 1986, aims to develop and advance interest in the art and craft of applying basketry techniques.
While principally focused on natural fibre basketry our fibre artists support eclectic interests, embracing traditional and contemporary practices and influences.
We maintain a permanent gallery and mount periodic exhibitions of work, conduct and host workshops and demonstrate at selected community events.
