For the fourth year running, Craft is proud to be partnering with Creative Ballarat on Craft Lab, a professional development program designed for makers and craft practitioners that live, work or study (or have done in the past) in the Ballarat region.

Practitioners that are selected will receive mentoring, training and professional development between February and June 2025. Dates for those activities will be advised once selection is completed and attendance for practitioners accepted into the program is mandatory.

Practitioners will be expected to be available to demonstrate their work at the exhibition event held at the Mining Exchange over two weekends in May 2025.

Two info sessions for the program will be held on Tuesday Nov 19, 2024 at the Centre for Rare Arts & Forgotten Trades, at 2pm and 5:30pm. Registrations for the info sessions are available here

Applications for this Expression of Interest closes on Monday 25 November 2024 at midnight.
