Today we launch the program for the 5th Sydney Craft Week Festival, the first and only festival in Sydney dedicated to making by hand.

Australian Design Centre has joined forces with MakeShift to present online workshops that give makers and designers very practical and playful skills that can be used every day to improve or maintain your mental health and self care.

Australian Design Centre and WORKSHOPPED are delighted to announce the design winners of their fourth partnership of the WORKSHOPPED exhibition and the 21st edition of the annual program, WORKSHOPPED21.

Origami is the ancient craft of paper folding with its origins in Chinese and Japanese culture. The technique is used by architects, designers and engineers. Contemporary designers are using highly advanced mathematical and computational tools to come up with new models such as anatomically correct insects, Islamic tilings, and geometric designs with curved creases.

DATUM 72 is a table that challenges preconceptions about everyday things. It blurs the landscaped lines of the domestic table setting.

ADC had the opportunity to present a collection of works selected from our retail outlet Object Shop, in the inner-city terrace house designed by Claire McCaughan.

WORKSHOPPED21 People’s Choice Award

Vote for your favourite design in WORKSHOPPED21 for the chance to win one of three prize packs valued at more than $12,000 generously donated by the design community.

Sydney and surrounds are home to many talented makers and designers.

Please consider supporting our local creative community who once again are affected with markets and retail temporarily closed during lockdown.

In 2022 Australian Design Centre (ADC) will launch a new ADC On Tour exhibition SIXTY: The Journal of Australian Ceramics’ 60th Anniversary 1962–2022 presented in partnership with The Australian Ceramics Association.
