Theme: Change Makers
Festival Dates: 9 – 18 October
Sydney Craft Week is about celebrating creativity and the handmade in all its forms. This festival creates the opportunity for the whole community to engage with craft, experience the benefits of making, and purchase local handmade work.
Be part of Sydney Craft Week, bringing together Sydney’s contemporary craft community in a city-wide festival.
Sydney Craft Week is the only festival in Sydney dedicated to making by hand. Led by the Australian Design Centre (ADC) and supported by an advisory group of craft sector professionals, Sydney Craft Week brings together contemporary crafts organisations and individuals in a celebration of craft across the city as part of a ten-day festival each year in October. The festival fosters community participation and creativity, with the opportunity for the public to meet artists, buy and learn about craft and get involved in making.
Each year, Sydney Craft Week puts out a Call for Entries for galleries, shops, cultural organisations and institutions, and individual makers to host events, ranging from large-scale exhibitions to one-off workshops encompassing the breadth and power of craft.
The festival takes place over 10 days in October. Sydney Craft Week invites all residents and visitors to experience Sydney’s vibrant craft scene. Most events are free to enter, with ticketed events managed by host organisations and venues.

Our next exhibition “Hiroe Swen – a lifetime in ceramics” is a ‘must see’ and will be on show from 20 September. There is a harmony between nature and practicality in Hiroe’s work. Her pottery is functional, her artwork gives a simple feeling of “Kokorozukai” or consideration for others. She expresses her joy through the unique forms of her work to achieve a new and personal sense of art and style.
Hiroe Swen was born in the old capital city of Kyoto, regarded by many as the cultural heart of Japan. At age 23 Hiroe began a 5 and a half year apprenticeship at the Kyoto Crafts Institute under master potter H Hayashi. At that time, female potters were very rare and Hiroe was a pioneer in ceramic society. She met her future husband Cornel in the mid-sixties and together they migrated to Australia in 1968. Hiroe and Cornel have lived in Australia ever since and throughout her life Hiroe has been a prolific creator of ever changing and evolving hand built ceramics. In 2016, Hiroe-san was awarded The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays by the Government of Japan for her contribution to the promotion of Japanese culture and mutual understanding between Japan and Australia.
In this landmark exhibition at Sturt, for one of the most important Japanese-born ceramic artists still working in Australia today, we recognise the 6 decades of Hiroe’s extensive career as well as showcase the stunning new work being made by Hiroe today. The exhibition will run from 20 September to 15 November and a digital catalogue is available for the purchase of Hiroe’s new work.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings there will not be a public opening for this exhibition but the exhibition will be on show for 7 weeks so there is plenty of time to plan your visit.
This project has been supported by the Embassy of Japan in Australia.

For portfolio purposes only, this is a video walk through of Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists, an exhibition curated by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Ana Taylor for Minneapolis Institute of Art // © 2020 Minneapolis Institute of Art
“Women have long been the creative force behind Native art. Presented in close cooperation with top Native women artists and scholars, this first major exhibition of artwork by Native women honors the achievements of over 115 artists from the United States and Canada spanning over 1,000 years. Their triumphs—from pottery, textiles, and painting, to photographic portraits, to a gleaming El Camino—show astonishing innovation and technical mastery.”
