Handicrafts of all sorts are fundamental to the CWA. Members participate in a range crafts, share their skills and gain new ones. Members can participate in Branch and Group competitions. Winners at Group level advance to State level where competitions are judged at State Conference. Workshops are also run, where participants can finesse their skills.

Handicraft has been used to supply items to areas of need in the community: from socks and vests in World War 2; to rugs for palliative care and cancer patients; beanies for premmie babies; hats and scarves for farmers during the drought; and even vests for fairy penguins. And we can’t forget the knitted and crocheted red poppies as part of the huge project for Remembrance Day 2018.
