Where tradition meets talent: Lost Trades Fair returns

A MAJOR heritage crafts festival will draw NSW visitors south in March, with the Lost Trades Fair set to be held at Hanging Rock Reserve in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, showcasing artisans from New South Wales and across Australia.

The event will take place on March 28 and 29 and promises a weekend inspired by nature and human talent, bringing together artisans practising traditional and heritage trades.

“Hanging Rock is one of the most iconic sites in the state and it is very exciting to be able to bring our artisans – the rock stars of traditional and heritage trades – together at such a magical site to share their skills, trades, talent, stories, culture, knowledge and celebrate the enduring pursuit of handmade with the very finest levels of human craftsmanship on display,” the organisers said.

The Lost Trades Fair has been supporting, promoting and showcasing artisans and makers practising heritage trades and traditional skills at an event that inspires audiences with creativity, artisan talks and all day demonstrations.

A celebration of skill, knowledge, craftsmanship and human talent, Lost Trades will inspire visitors of all ages.

The ticket price includes parking and full entry to Hanging Rock, so there is time to climb the rock, explore, watch live demonstrations, have a go at many of the trades or just bring a picnic, relax and take in all that the weekend offers.

The fair will showcase more than 150 artisans from across Australia and 10 international guest artisans, including artisans from Britain, Sweden and America who will share skills across woodwork, metal, print, paper, gold and textiles.

Tickets are available online until sold out.
