AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST working craft fair, the Tasmanian Craft Fair (TCF), provides a chance to come and meet artists, artisans and craftspeople.

Find items you may want to buy and discover the story behind the making of them.

With 240 stalls, 70 exhibitors will be demonstrating their work on site with another 40 having a display that shows how they make their products.

This year there will be 40 new stalls, lots of entertainment (especially for children) and other special attractions.

Of special interest is 2016's emerging artist Myles Kirkman, a local lad who makes knives.

Myles uses Tasmanian timbers and upcycled bandsaw blades to create high quality items.

This year the TCF Official Charity is Giant Steps Tasmania. Located in Deloraine, it is the only specialised school for autism in the island state.
