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.

Meeting Place

On Wednesdays and Sundays our members meet at The Cottage between 10.00am and 3.00pm to work on their baskets, discuss ideas and share basketry techniques.
Visitors are welcome to view our Gallery and meet our basketmakers on these days.
The Cottage is located at   Wattle Park  1012 Riversdale Road
