Australian Design Centre

Thursday 8 to Sunday 17 October

Join us to celebrate the value of craft and the skill, beauty and joy that handcrafted objects bring to our lives. Features over 50 exhibitions, workshops, talks and events!

We've relaunched our award winning commissioning project Object 150 to support makers through the continued Sydney lockdown. 

Object 150 is where you pay $150 to have an original, unique, handmade object created exclusively for you by one of our makers. 

Our featured makers for October are Chrystie Longworth and Outer Island.
