Pip Bilson Pipla designer Pip Bilson creates eclectic and simply gorgeous wares for children - encouraging inspired play and producing goodies that are cherished by their little owners. With a background in interior architecture, design and product styling are nicely ingrained in the Pipla label.

Jen Murnaghan Created in Tasmania in 2011, Dish Pig is the dream of Irish expat Jen Murnaghan, now happily making Tasmania her home. In an attempt to reinvigorate the humble souvenir, Jen uses her experience in interior design and creative marketing to develop a product that Tasmanian’s are proud to send overseas or slip into the luggage of an overseas visitor. Many get so attached to their tea towels; they have been known to hang them on their walls rather than on their ovens. Who said a tea towel was for dishes anyway? dishpig.net

8-bitty designed & made by
Luke Morgan In terms of product design, 2014 will be bold, bright and a little gory for 8-bitty creator Luke Morgan.

Drawing on these well rounded influences, he designs and produces radical video game clothing which essentially chews up cool stuff from the 80s and 90s and spits them out as giant pixels onto t-shirts.

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
