“The locals are just fantastic and the Dubbo show is just fun.”
There will be something different this year with two new areas of interactive studios.
This year will also focus on more ways to learn.

“It’s just a great family friendly event,” she said.
The Dubbo show has had much positive feedback, with comments on the Craft Alive website coming from people with a range of skills and experiences.
One of the comments came from Tammy, who said "CraftAlive has opened up my eyes to being creative again, fantastic you bring the craft world out to us!"
