WHY YOU SHOULD EXHIBIT
About the event
The Textile Art Festival is an event celebrating creative textile craft in Australia. The Textile Art Festival is for lovers of wearable art, surface decoration, knitting, crochet, embroidery, embellishment - in fact anything to do with fibre, yarn or fabric.
The event features displays, stage presentations and educational sessions with a fantastic line-up of tutors presenting a three-day program of hands-on classes and an expo where visitors can stock up on textile supplies.
The Textile Art Festival is brought to you by Expertise Events, the organisers of Australia's favourite craft events, The Craft & Quilt Fair, The Australasian Quilt Convention and The Australian Scrapbook Expo.

Retailers from around Australia, selling specialist fibres, yarns, threads, fabrics, dyes, tools and machines, and much more will set up Australia's biggest textile art shop for three days only.
