Bendigo Show Highlights

31 March 2025 By Michelle Brown

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!

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.

(discount entry $13) and two day passes $22
Pakenham & Sandown shows; tickets $18

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!
