Scrapbooking ~ Papercrafts ~ Mixed Media Shows

Bendigo Show Highlights

By

The From Picture to Page and Beyond Papercraft show in Bendigo, held on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March 2025, was a vibrant celebration of papercraft, mixed media, and scrapbooking. Taking place at the Bendigo Showgrounds, the event gathered crafters of all ages for two exciting days of creativity. Attendees enjoyed hands-on activities such as make-and-take sessions, mini-classes, and inspiring demonstrations by expert crafters.

The show was a hub for shopping the latest crafting supplies, meeting friendly traders, and soaking in a buzzing atmosphere of creativity and camaraderie. It was the ideal space for crafters to connect, create, and discover new ideas.

A standout feature of the event was our Things with Wings ATC swap, which saw a lovely turnout of enthusiastic crafters exchanging these charming little artworks!

Here are a few of the highlights with our fantastic crafting community and retailers!

  • Our Creative Director - Michelle

And some more!

  • Victorian Parchment Retreats

And just a selection of the fabulous CLASSES that were held throughout the two day event!

  • Jcraft class

And a HUGE T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to all of the crafters and retailers who attended the event! We had crafters from the local Bendigo region, as well as people from Warrnambool, Ararat, Shepparton, Geelong, Seymour, Gippsland and all across Melbourne!

It was so wonderful to catch up with all of you! To put faces to names I have only seen on Facebook or on emails; to hear of your crafting achievements and life challenges. We really do have a fabulous community of crafters!

I would LOVE to keep in touch via our Facebook Group Papercraft Posse.

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.
