About

DCCrafts started out as Debbie’s Classic Crafts in 1991 by Deb Anderson. However, as Deb got older she decided she didn’t like being called ‘Debbie’ any more – so with the introduction of web pages and domains, it was shortened to DCCrafts.

The craft business first started by sewing up x-stitch designs for Jill Oxton in Adelaide, South Australia. Jill then photographed the finished pieces and used them in her books – Jill Oxton Cross Stitch Australia… As Deb was earning money the next step was to set up a business.

In the early years Deb had a stall at the local markets each weekend with some friends and would also do x-stitch consignment pieces for friends.
Then, one day at a craft fair there was Paper Tole being demonstrated by a lady called Lynn Cunningham – Deb was hooked. Paper Tole then became her passion for 30+ years.

Over the years a variety of craft classes were put together- paper tole, card-making, decoupage, iris folding and silk painting.

Now, the main craft passions are:
* card making – using stamping, paper tole pictures, feathers, lace, ribbon, buttons and many other embellishments.
* mosaics – using glass and tiles and embellishments.
* up-cycling materials into Boho bags and clothes.

Hours are spent in the craft studio creating one-off hand made pieces.

DCCrafts is still going after all these years and living the dream … holding workshops and classes … attending the local markets … creating consignment pieces … sharing all things craft!!!
