Finding what was lost - and sharing a passion for hand skills, fine craftmanship and the pursuit of excellence

With its home in the gold rush region of Victoria the Lost Trades Fair in Bendigo is unique, captivating and one of the most inspiring and authentic events in the country  For over a decade Lost Trades has celebrated craftsmanship, skilled manual work, decorative arts, heritage crafts, rare trades and knowledge passed down through generations. Tools, traditions, techniques and trades secrets are shared and on show.  In 2025 Lost Trades - The Heritage Edition will run over three days with staged artisan presentations and panel discussions providing new insights into being a maker in the 21st century. 

 

People are fascinated when talented craftspeople openly demonstrate skills and share their knowledge of their trade.

There is something to see for all ages. Master artisans from across Australia and overseas will share their skills and show you how they do what they do.  Meet the makers, watch demonstrations, listen to their stories and watch them create.

Lost Trades aims to inspire, to educate and to open the minds of the next generation to demand something made by a real person rather than a machine; to think about sustainability and the longevity of what they buy and use, to excite people to have the confidence to design, make and create something real, crafted by their own hands - and to show them what people can do with practice, passion, hard work and knowledge.
