We’re hankering after ... Some new bling, of the authentic, handmade and incredibly beautiful kind... hello Little Lari! And some stunning + heartfelt ceramics from Sally Cassandra.
Ones to watch ... Sarah Bishop, who in between playing with tulle and her beloved dog Molly, has been creating some new works ready for the market! And 8-Bitty - always fun (and a dash scary) to see some zombie gore in action.
lo ca l lov e this month we enjoyed...
To eat Chocolate churros (always a winner but these were EXTRA good) from Smolt at the Dark Mofo Winter Feast.
To reflect on Five years of running the market - its been a crazy and rewarding ride - and given us a massive appreciation for our local creatives and the heart and soul that goes into their work.
To do Rugging up and striding the Wintry streets (or forest tracks) of Hobart together - the best way to see a city, especially your own!
Love, y xo l l o H & n o n Shan

t h e w h o, the what & t h e w h y. . . the market is a boutique art + design event, showcasing independent Tasmanian designers, makers and producers. It is held six times a year in the intriguing Masonic Temple, Hobart. Since its inception in 2009, it has become widely known for its exciting line up of exclusively local labels, along with its firm focus on authenticity and craftsmanship. With an impressive collection of exhibitors from a wide range of disciplines, visitors to the market can expect to see established fashion illustrators sitting alongside small scale producers of bespoke ceramics. A very particular approach to stallholder selection ensures that while exhibitors are vastly different in almost every way, they all have a common thread; creative talent, a demonstrated integrity in their business ethos and original thought in their design process.
the market is carefully curated by Shannon Robertson & Holly Webber, who are committed in their mission to unearthing and showing off Tasmania’s veritable web of undiscovered talent, world-class products and the intriguing stories and inspiration behind the commercial reality of small scale designers and makers. In addition to their regular market events, the girls have recently hosted pop - up events at the Cancer Council Girls Day Out and at the Sustainable Living Festival. In 2013 they held Show & Tell, a forest-themed night exhibition of their stallholders, as part of the Festival of Voices programme. Alongside co-curating the market, Holly & Shannon both run successful small businesses of their own and bring to the market their skills in graphic design, journalism, advertising, creative writing and marketing. This helps them to provide exhibitors with a platform, valuable exposure and a reach for their products that extends beyond market day.

Demand to know where things come from,what is in them, who has made them and under what conditions. Do not be led only by price but look for value and craftsmanship. Buy only things and materials that respect the human energy that has gone into them and where the maker is rewarded fairly. kevin mccloud Kevin McCloud’s 43 Principles of Home
