About #CraftItCBR
Communities@Work organised a #CraftItCBR Creative Craft Challenge for the Canberra Community, to promote art and craft activities while individuals and families stayed at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event encouraged participants to use their skills, imagination and materials that they may already have had at home to create a unique craft piece of the challenge. The craft entries were also shared on Communities@Work’s Facebook page throughout the event.
There were five challenge categories:
- Something useful or functional (gain that nod of approval)
- Something decorative or gorgeous (encourage people to look twice)
- Something weird or funky (inspire curiosity)
- Something to wear or accessorise (raises an eyebrow)
- Something you like (just because you feel like it).
Participants were allowed to submit their craft entries by the deadline of 30 June 2020.
Congratulations to the Winners!

What’s Next for our Craft Experts?
With the #CraftItCBR being such a success, our community development team is now working towards not just a craft exhibition, but a Creative Craft Skills Demo Expo.
We’re looking at a September timeframe for the event, to be held at the Tuggeranong Community Centre. Each participant will be provided with a space to use it how they see fit, from displaying work and business cards, to demonstrating skills and setting up for others to have a go.
