Craft is cool again. Across Australia — and far beyond — traditional design practices long considered “old fashioned” are experiencing a powerful resurgence. From tapestry as contemporary art, to handcrafted chairs, to the ancient weaving traditions of First Nations communities, slow, tactile craftsmanship is being embraced by a generation raised in a hyper digital world.

Aired on Tuesdat 24 Feb 2026 at 6:00am. Guests: Sophie Travers, Co-CEO of the Australian Tapestry Workshop, Glen Rundell, Chair maker and co-founder of the Lost Trades Fair, Aunty Karleen Green, First Nations weaver.
