We are excited to be returning to Bendigo after a year’s absence, in March, at a weekend later in the month to allow for the Train & Hobby show, Stampin’ Up!’s big event and the venue availability. We will be back at the air-conditioned Bendigo Events & Exhibition Complex, at the showgrounds.

The Pakenham and Sandown shows will remain on the same dates, on their traditional weekends, at the same venues.

We will hold one Destash on Saturday 28 June to give our wonderful crafting community a chance to rehome their unwanted craft supplies as well as grabbing a bargain! Applications will open in May.

Ticket prices have also been reviewed! There will be one ticket price that offers the value you have come to know and love with the From Picture to Page Papercraft shows!

Bendigo show tickets – $10
Pakenham & Sandown tickets – $15
Two day passes will also be available. No further discounts will apply.

Until then, join us over on the Papercraft Posse Facebook Page to share your current projects, ask question of the over 1,000 crafters and retailers, and continue to be part of the From Picture to Page crafting community.

And finally, a HUGE T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to all of our wonderful retailers who continue to support our events, and to YOU our crafting community, who continue to encourage and inspire us throughout the year!

P2P Craftshows in 2023

By

What an amazing year we have had with six in-person shows plus one online show! THANK YOU for continuing to be part of our crafting community! YOU are a central part of our craft events and we really appreciate your support!

From Picture to Page Papercraft Shows for 2023:

Northern Show – 25 & 26 February 2023
Makers, Arts & Crafts @ Train & Hobby show – 11, 12 & 13 March 2023
Bendigo Show – 18 & 19 March 2023

The Bendigo, Pakenham, Sandown and Peninsula shows are at the same venues and weekends we are used to over the last few years (with Peninsula dates to be confirmed.)

The Northern show will be held at Plenty Ranges Arts & Convention Centre in South Morang; this has been in the planning stages since before COVID. The venue is wonderful with all ability access, air conditioning, catering and free car parking!

The Western show will move from Geelong to Werribee, at the Encore Events Centre in Hoppers Crossing, and be held on the same weekend as our previous Geelong shows. As much as we loved our Geelong venue, we had outgrown it and needed to find a venue with better access – the Encore Events Centre definitely promises to fulfill all of our needs! It also has all ability access, air conditioning, catering and free car parking!

AND we have been invited to curate the Makers, Arts and Crafts section of the Train & Hobby show at the Sandown Raceway – 11, 12 & 13 March. There will be something there for the whole family! Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Ticket Pricing for 2023

Throughout 2022 we have held our ticket prices steady and absorbed as much of the increases as possible. There is a small increase to ticket prices for 2023.

Regional shows (Northern, Bendigo, Western & Peninsula); tickets $15
(discount entry $13) and two day passes $22
Pakenham & Sandown shows; tickets $18
(discount entry $16), two day passes $25
(and for Sandown, three day passes $28)
We will continue our policy of partners and children under 16 with free entry.

Keeping in touch

While we have finished our craft shows for 2022, we will continue with our weekly update videos (on Facebook and YouTube) plus the Papercraft Posse facebook group is there to share your creative triumphs, ask questions and continue to support your fellow crafters. And I am sure Michelle and Jenni will come up with lots of other things that we will be eager to share!

Update for upcoming shows and COVID-19 restrictions

By

[21 May 2020]

It’s with a heavy heart that we will be CANCELLING the Pakenham show – 30 & 31 May 2020. With the Victorian Government extension of the State of Emergency until 11 May 2020, we are unable to plan for our usual papercraft show, with retailers, demonstrations, classes and lots of face to face, real life interactions!

We are also CANCELLING the Geelong show – 18 & 19 July 2020. With ongoing Victorian Government restrictions we are unable to plan for our usual papercraft show.!

As soon as we have clarity about the foreseeable future, we will begin planning again.

In the meantime, what CAN we do? Let’s CRAFT!

Come and join our P2PCrafts Presents sessions!

I am running free online Craft with Us sessions on the From Picture to Page Facebook page, with some sessions aimed at our crafting community and others aimed at complete beginners and those looking for projects to do at home with their kids. Share your creations with our Papercraft Posse Facebook Group. Plus you can catch the Craft with Us replays on our From Picture to Page YouTube channel.

Thinking of you in these uncertain times.

Have a crafty day,
Michelle
