From Picture to Page and Beyond Pakenham show is held in May, at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, Lakeside Boulevard Pakenham. The modern, light-filled venue is perfect for a paper craft show with lots of natural light and views out onto the lake.
Our Pakenham expo traders are from Melbourne, around Victoria and across Australia. Each have their own specialty and range of stamps and stamping materials, mixed media art supplies and scrapbooking supplies, plus a few paper crafts that are hard to find!
We love bringing a huge range of experience and enthusiasm to Pakenham each year. And the location is ideal for those in the eastern side of Victoria. We delight in having a show just for paper crafters, scrapbookers and mixed media artists which allows our specialty traders to focus on the tools and techniques you need to see the latest products and watch demonstrations from our talented traders and their teams.
The Pakenham show continues to offer a range of free “Make & Takes” and mini-classes (for a small fee) which allow you to create a small project with the new products and techniques. It’s a great way to learn about these new supplies and ask the specialist about their use and application.
And our venue offers free parking and a cafe.
