25.01.2022 Because of the Corona Virus situation, we have postponed the Western Port Craft Expo until Saturday, 18th July.

24.01.2022 Sadly due to the current restrictions on social distancing and limits on attendances at social gatherings, it has been decided to cancel the 2020 Western Port Craft Expo which had been moved to July this year. This will not take place, however keep a watch out for 2021 as we will return just as good if not better with all the gorgeous craftwork youll be missing this year.

24.01.2022 WORKSHOP SPOTLIGHT: In this 2.5hr workshop, you'll get a sneak peak into the world of MOSAIC ART at year's Western Port Craft Expo. Under the guidance of s workshop, participants will create a unique colourful house number plate using glass tiles and inclusions.

23.01.2022 We already knew this, Crafters, didnt we? (Article in todays paper). By the way - keep a check on our Facebook page as details of the 2020 Craft Expo will soon be announced!

22.01.2022 Sadly we have decided to CANCEL the rescheduled date for this years WPCE. Given the slow but essential lifting of restrictions on social gatherings, it means our optimistic hope of running the CRAFT EXPO at a later date are now dashed. We are hopeful that we will be back in 2021 so watch this space! ... #wpce #hastings3915 #craftexpo #whatsonwesternport #morningtonpeninsulamade

22.01.2022 Looks like a great outing for crafty people this coming Sunday - Pakenham, too - not Melbourne.

22.01.2022 Happy to say our workshops and talks have been finalised and details are now on our website: www.wpcraftexpo.com. Crafters, too, are now able to apply for a place - also via the website.

20.01.2022 Start getting excited! This year's Craft Expo is on 18th April and some very interesting crafts will be featured.

20.01.2022 This could be a wonderful day out for Crafters once this Isolation lockdown is over. It visits a lovely lot of Peninsula Craft shops. (However it originates in Warragul and Drouin, but could possibly pick up closer to Mornington Peninsula - need to check this).

20.01.2022 We made the front page!!! :o

18.01.2022 You never know what you might be beguiled into trying at the Western Port Craft Expo! I loved the display by BearEssence (of Tooradin) at our Expo last April and signed up to learn how to make a teddy bear from scratch. Finally finished the little fellow today and am really pleased at how he turned out. Thanks, Kim - and all the guidance I had from Heather.

16.01.2022 Lots of different crafts you can try out at home here - as long as you're a Mornington Peninsula Library member.

16.01.2022 A few people have contacted me today regarding an email sent from a Melody Jones of Worldeventtag.com offering to sell details of attendances at the 2019 Western Port Craft Expo. I want to assure you that we don’t keep details of attendances at the Expo, nor (if we ever did!) would we ever ‘sell’ on private information. This is a scam! If you get a similar email with the Western Port Craft Expo in the subject line from that particular email address, please mark it as ‘scam’ or ‘junk’ and delete it. Do not reply to it. The only official emails from the Western Port Craft Expo organisers will be from me, Sandra, or from Claire Kingdon.
