Arts and Craft
The Gold Coast has a thriving arts and craft sector supported by regular community markets at locations throughout the city and promoted through various craft organisations, exhibitions and events.
There are many unique local pieces of art and craft for sale at markets, galleries and gift shops that make special mementos of a Gold Coast holiday or signature decoration pieces for the home or office.
Arts and craft associations also offer regular classes and workshops for amateurs and professionals in arts and crafts which vary from pottery to woodturning, and lapidary to quilting.
