More than 4000 passionate craft enthusiasts converged on the Toowoomba CBD’s Rail Goods Shed over four days for the full return of CraftAlive.

The massive nationwide event series celebrated its first Toowoomba show at the new location, with more than 60 locals, national and even international retailers offering inspiration to aspiring artisans.

“It’s a big open space and everyone has been enraptured and speaking highly of the venue,” event manager Brett Dowling said.

“People are just excited to be back doing craft again, they’re restocking on their supplies and socialising.”
