Basketry SA members generously share their skills and learn from each other.
​
The skills and expertise of our members has developed since the association was founded over 40 years ago, you just have to visit our Exhibitions & Gallery page to see the contemporary works of the modern basket weaver. Many members experiment with natural fibres and with sustainability issues high in our minds, many man-made materials are being recycled in ways you may never have imagined.
​
Biennial National Gatherings bring basket weavers from around Australia together over 3 days of workshops, bazaars and social activities where new skills are shared amongst members. Regular workshops also bring members together to pass on techniques, ideas and inspiration.
​
Exhibitions, demonstrations and trading tables provide members with an opportunity to present their work and where possible, sell their pieces to the public.
