Lost Trades Fair

Do you know what a cooper, a fletcher, a tatter and a boywer do? They’re specialist craftsmen, who have spent their lives making things by hand. - by Johanna Griggs AM
  • 21 Sep 2018

In today’s age of mass production, these artisans are getting rarer by the dozen, so Johanna, Jason, Tara and Adam are teaming up to visit a festival that celebrates them.

At The Lost Trades Fair in Kyneton, Victoria, you’ll meet everyone from cotton spinners to cookie cutter makers, hedge layers to harp makers and everything in between.

Their raw talent and passion for what they do is truly inspiring, and the team are meeting up with a few of their favourites to talk about the joy in doing things the old fashioned way.

To find out more about Lost Trades Fair, head to https://www.losttrades.info , https://www.visitvictoria.com/ and https://www.daylesfordmacedonlife.com.au/
