By medium
Textile work covers weaving, tapestry, quilting, embroidery, natural dyeing and a good deal that does not fit any of those words. Australia has a strong natural dye and weaving community, much of it selling directly.
The same medium, narrowed to one state. Useful if you would rather not freight something fragile across the country.
No work listed in textiles yet
Artists choose whether their work is shown publicly, and nobody here has switched it on so far. This page fills itself in as soon as one does.
No work has been listed in textiles yet, so here is what other makers around the country currently have available. Each piece says who made it, and their page says where they work.
Ask what the fibre is and how it was dyed, because natural dyes and synthetic dyes age completely differently. Find out how the piece is meant to hang. A textile work usually needs a rod, a batten or a sleeve, and retrofitting one is harder than it sounds.
Light fades textiles faster than almost anything else, and natural dyes fastest of all. Hang the work out of direct sun, and take it down and rest it flat every few years if it is heavy.
Each piece has its own page with an enquiry form that goes straight to the maker. You agree price, payment and delivery with them. There is no commission taken out of the sale and no auction.
Everything listed is made by the artist selling it. Where a piece is one of an edition, the listing says so and the artist will tell you the edition size if you ask.
Some artists prefer to discuss price on enquiry, particularly for larger or commissioned work. Those listings show Price on enquiry rather than a number, and you get an answer by writing to them.
Many of the artists here take commissions. It is not a listed option, so ask in an enquiry and describe what you have in mind, including your budget and when you need it.
Yes. Set up an account, add a piece with photographs and measurements, and turn on public listing. Nothing is public until you say so, and the free tier does not expire.
Catalogue what you have made, give every piece a page you can send to a buyer, and appear on this one. Listing is off until you switch it on, and the free tier does not expire.
