Pop Craft Studio is a brand new centre for the study of textile techniques, from the past into the future. It will be an inspirational space in which to take textile master classes, with instruction from local and international experts.
Projects in the pipeline for Pop Craft Studio include an artist-in-residence program, an individual mentorship/business development scheme for emerging textile designers and Big Pop! – an irregular gallery space showcasing monumental fibre art works. And as a way to inspire creative dialogue, a monthly Friday Night Feast will also be held in the studio (or on the outdoor deck, when the seasons allow).

Housed in a newly built, light-filled atelier, it is part of architect Henrik Ender's "Big Bang" complex, a creative hub with views across Merri Creek to Ceres. The room is currently a blank canvas – with your help we will turn it into a fully functional workspace, designed from the ground up to serve as a point of exchange for Melbourne's creative textile community.



We have already received one donation in the form of beautiful furniture and workstation plans by architect Ri Walker and it is our dream to build them to the impeccable standard they deserve. Your contributions will go towards this and remaining setup costs of the atelier, ensuring we can offer participants and mentors alike a professional and productive working environment.
